Unless something very strange has happened, your data should still be 
where they were.  Use the Open feature (Ctrl-O) and select your original 
file.  If you click on File, you may actually see the original file as 
an option below Properties - if so, select it, and you'll be back in 
business.

As to printing the chart of accounts, I can't help you - I think your 
best bet may be running the Transaction Report using the AcctsChart file 
you created, export the file, and edit it.
