Change to the starting / ending period dates in the preferences menu causes crash

[Tony Lawson]

I have been  running Gnucash successfully for a couple of months, but
whenever I try to alter the starting / ending period dates in the
preferences menu and then try to run a report the system crashes with this
error message -

gnucash-bin.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry
for the inconvenience.

Error Signature
AppName: gnucash-bin.exe     AppVer: 0.0.0.0     ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.5512     Offset: 0003aeac

Now I cannot get any of my backup files to load without getting the same
crash message?

Any thoughts on how to open my files?

Is this a kno2wn bug?

Any thoughts on how to produce reports with a changed reporting period?



Cheers

Tony
