Robin,

An easy way to determine whether you actually have data in the file is
to start with the Accounts tab.

1. Are most of the displayed balances nonzero? If so, data must be in
the file to get nonzero summary figures. On the other hand, if most of
the balances are zero, it might mean you have no data, or it might mean
you "closed the books" and haven't entered any transactions after that,
or it might mean you have a filter in effect (see below)..

2. Still from the Accounts tab, press Ctrl+F to bring up the Find
Transaction dialog. Enter search criteria that would take in most
records -- Description contains e, for example, or Value has credits or
debits greater than or equal to 0.01.

Also, make sure you haven't set a filter that excludes all data. In the
register for one of your no-data accounts, click View » Filter By and
make sure that Show All is selected. If changing to Show All reveals
data, make the same change in your other accounts. (N.B. When you change
ther flter to Show All, you probably want to tick the "Save Filter" box
at the bottom of the dialog.)
