losing data

[Chris Bester]

Hi Maf

Cannot give you a screen shot, but this is what the various toolbars look like:

In the top left hand:-
Ikon- Balance Sheet(equile)Aug2013 gnucash-Members fees-Gnucash- ( This is the bar that I am referring to and which I cannot understand.  It appears above the following tool bars and menu bars.)          Members fees is the account I am working in.
File  Edit  View  Transactions  Actions  Business  Reports   Tools   Windows  Help
Save   Close   Duplicate  Delete   Enter   Cancel etc. - etc.
Accounts   Assets   Checking Accounts    Expenses  etc. - etc. 

Your last sentence do not make sense to me.  Maybe my system is different. I do not understand what you mean by, having the wrong data file in use.

Hope you can help.
Chris

Hi Chris,

Any chance of a screenshot?  I'm not on a windows system, but my GC window layout is something like:
Window Frame with current filename in it Menu Bar Tool Buttons Tabs for registers & reports Main display of tree/register/report

If windows follows the same general layout, then I'd suggest that the "balance sheet....2013" is the filename of the accounts data file that is presently open.  This may suggest that you have the wrong data file in use.

Do you have any entries in File -> {recently opened file list}, which is between File -> properties & File -> close on my version.

HTH,
Maf.
