[GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[Mahon Finbar]

This is an update of sorts of a long series of messages here since I had 
an issue with saving my transactions at the end of July.

I was unable to copy and send GNU files to the kind people who tried to 
help me. I have no idea why, copy and paste after changing to the file 
type required just did not work.

There were many messages concerning why I seemed to have more than one 
set of GNU files with  different user names, and at different times.

I have now downloaded all the files containing "GNU" for the period of 
July 2023.

There is bewildering list with an equally bewildering number of names, 
suffixes, etc., such as -

16  files of type  - gnucash.trace.YXDV81.log each one duplicated and 
where only the alphanumeric is different

A large number of 'shortcuts' and many files which I think are backups 
with several date strings in the same file.

I have not been able to decipher these nor files with .msf or .gcm or 
.dmp or GnuCash_is1 !!

Maybe I have made numerous errors, and unwittingly put files in 
different places or formats, but..... I am a longtime user of GNU, most 
of the current longer files start with GNU FEB 12 2019.gnucash.....

Finally, all the files I have now are in Documents 
(C:\users\administrato) with various sub-addresses. That seems to have 
sorted the issue with one of the issues raised in a message -

"Be sure you aren't confusing the two users on your system! (one is 
"Barry Mahon" and the other is "administrato""


Any help at this stage would be welcome. I have a tax declaration to do 
by mid November.

I would be willing to start all over again and re-enter the 2022 
transactions, the tax year concerned, and create a new 2023 set of 
transactions to continue.
