Can no longer open one of two Gnucash files

[Leslie Katz]

Maf., many thanks.

Under "Edit", "Preferences", "Scheduled Transactions", I had "Run on Gnucash start" checked. Unchecking it got me back into my banking file. 

When I investigated, this is what I noticed. Whether or not it was relevant, I don't know enough to say.

I had two transactions scheduled monthly. They were both to occur on the day following my problem. When I looked at one of them, all appeared normal. When I looked at the other, however, it showed that the amount paid the next day would be $0.00, instead of the $45.00 it had always read. I deleted that scheduled transaction, created a new one showing $45.00, re-checked "Run on Gnucash start" and all seems well again (fingers crossed!).

Thanks again for your help.

Leslie

Hi Leslie

Try this:

Load the "shares" file, then turn off the Since-Last-run-dialog option "Run on 
file open".  Can't remember where that is in 1.8.x, but in 2.2.x it is 
Edit->Preferences->[Scheduled Transactions] tab.

Then try opening the banking file.

Looks like you have made some changes to an account which is affected by a SX 
causing the crash.  You'll have to investigate that further, if you can get 
back into your data!

HTH,
Maf.
