[GNC] Version upgrade: Missing Saved Reports

[Steve Isenberg]

Your memory was close enough and for Win7 it is buried inside C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash folder. 

Copied the 2.4 file to that location, renamed it 2.8 and BAM! All my reports are back.
Thanks Adrien!

Steve,

Check the wiki concerning file locations for the 3.x series. Reports were moved to another location and named saved-reports-2.8 (2.8 was originally the next in the version numbering, but was later upped to 3.0) You?ll need to copy your 2.4 reports there. Unfortunately, I don?t know the Windows location off hand but the wiki will have it. (someone more familiar with this might chime in as well) I *think* it is `c:\Users\<your username>\%APPDATA%` but I could be remembering it wrong ?best to double check and verify that.

If you have a truly custom report (not just a saved report) I seem to recall also that the user loading file has changed. The wiki should also have this info.

Check the FAQ for the links (or rabbit hole if you will, as it may be buried 3+ pages deep) to find the info.

Regards,
Adrien
