[David Dutra]

Thanks, but I have done that and scrolled up the whole list of transactions - it's not there.

Also you can use the search feature to search for the lost transaction.

I’ve had this happen too many times when I enter just the month/day on a transaction, and GnuCash puts in last year’s year for some reason… causing the new transaction to jump up off the top of the screen when I hit “Enter” to create the transaction.  Most common around the end of the year (for me), and you say you’re coming back to the DB after time off, so it might just be “helping” you in an incorrect fashion.

If you’ve been clearing/reconciling your transactions, you can probably find it fast by scrolling up and looking for a Tx in the cleared section of your ledger which says “n” in that column.
