losing data

[Chris Bester]

Hi There

I am, myself,  not quite sure what happened, and why.  I will try and
explain.

I went to <File> and underneath <properties> there was: 1. Balance Sheet(
equile)Aug. 2013. Gnucash
							     2. Documents.
Gnucash
							     3.
Documents.201309201100106.gnucash
							     4. Balance
Sheet.gnucash

(No.1. Balance Sheet(equile)Aug.2013)  was what also appeared in the top
left hand corner above the Tool Bar.  I took a chance and clicked on (No.2.
Documents. Gnucash.)  and all of a sudden Gnucash started running through
all my accounts and reports.  This carried on for some time and when it
stopped I  discovered I had again lost some data, but this time only from a
certain date in November. I also noticed that underneath <properties>,
(Documents. Gnucash.)  was now No.1 and ( Balance Sheet(equile) had moved to
No.2. Also the bar above the toolbar was replaced by ( Documents. Gnucash.)
followed by the name of the account I had open at that instant.

Hopefully you can explain this, because I still do not understand how it
worked, but in the meantime my own solution therefore is; stay clear of
anything under <File>.

Thanks for all the help thus far.

Chris

Any chance you could summarize your results for the archives, in order to
help the next guy that might find themselves in your position?  Could you
explain what you found and how you corrected it?

Thanks!
