John and David. Thank you for your time. Following Johns suggestion I have located the latest gnu.trace file which is copied below. Could you help please with identifying errors: It also seems that all data entries covering the month of Nov2018 have been deleted from the lists of accounts (ie latest entries before problems with crash). I’ve retrieved and opened two backup files from several months ago, these also show all up to date custom report file names, but selecting any of these causes a crash. * 19:55:12 WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) * 19:55:12 CRIT <GLib> g_key_file_free: assertion 'key_file != NULL' failed * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account * 19:57:18 WARN <gnc.query> [xaccQueryAddAccountMatch()] acct_list has NULL account Best Regards Arnie From: David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com> Sent: 09 December 2018 18:34 To: John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> Cc: Arnie Reeves <karnd...@blueyonder.co.uk>; Gnucash Users <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] GNU crashes when any Report is selected Arnie, I just fired up GnuCash release 2.6.19 on Windows 10 Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134and I produced and printed a couple of reports without a crash, so if you have a comparable build, that would probably not be your problem. Try John's suggestions if possible.

A bit more troubleshooting is in order.
First, look at a tracefile (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile) from a crashed session to see if there's an error at the end of it that might indicate the cause of the crash. A stack trace (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace) is the best diagnostic but they're hard to get on Windows. Try opening a backup file from a month ago if you have one available: Perhaps there's a data problem in the current file that's causing the crash. You can also try creating a new user and running GnuCash while logged in as that user to see if there's something in your environment that's causing the crash.
