Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am sure, at least in terms of everything I can think of to look at. The payments in the chequing account have all been changed to Expenses:Hydro rather than Expenses:Hydro:Main House. More importantly, exporting a Chart of Accounts doesn't show any of the sub-accounts.
EXPENSE:"Expenses:Groceries":Groceries::Groceries:::CAD:CURRENCY:F:F:F EXPENSE:"Expenses:House Insurance":House Insurance::House Insurance:::CAD:CURRENCY:F:F:F EXPENSE:"Expenses:Hydro":Hydro::Hydro-Quebec:::CAD:CURRENCY:F:F:F EXPENSE:"Expenses:Meals":Meals::Restaurants, Fast food:::CAD:CURRENCY:F:F:F EXPENSE:"Expenses:Medical Expenses":Medical Expenses::Medical Expenses:::CAD:CURRENCY:F:F:F One thing I did do a couple of weeks back is to check "Only display leaf account names" in the preferences, and I may not have opened the book since then. But surely this is just a display option and doesn't affect the underlying data at all. There are only a couple of dozen transactions, and it's not hard to repair it manually, but I thought I should report the occurrence just in case anyone else see similar weirdness.

Find a transaction in an account which was the other side of one of the missing sub accounts (so maybe a checking account transaction that went to the Main House expense account for example) open that transaction and see what it shows. Try clicking on the button that takes you to the other side of the transaction (Jump it is labelled I think) and see where it takes you.
