Losing data

[Chris Bester]

Hi Maf

All my data that I entered since the first of September disappeared. The first time was a few weeks ago.  I reentered  all the data and carried on entering new data as time progressed.  Today, on opening Gnucash, I again discovered all my data entered since the beginning of September missing. I started using Gnucash this year, which means I should have the latest version. I do not know what you mean by OS or XML or SQL an all the rest of the technical jargon you are using. However, many thanks for responding.

Chris

Hi Chris,

Boilerplate questions: which version of GC, which OS?  Do you mean that all the data you've entered since August has gone missing, or just a selection of days at the end of Aug?

Are you using XML as the data store back end or one of the SQL databases?

What is the filename - if it has some datestamps in it, maybe you've opened a backup by mistake at some point?

HTH,
Maf.
