Hi Doug,

Which version of GC?  If it is one of the test 2.3.x versions, then my idea 
below may not work, if your data was in a new SQL database, rather than an 
XML-file.

All I can suggest is that you search your hard disk for files ending .xac  - 
that is the default extension for GC backups.  If you find a bunch of those, 
then look in that directory, and your main account file should be there  
(it's the one without the timestamp in the file name!)

HTH,
Maf.
