Following the suggestion of David Cousens I searched for config files both in 2.18 and 3.6 . I used the configuration diagram in
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Linux to guide me to the correct directory. 2.18 /home/<user>/.gnucash I found 8 of the 9 files that diagram suggests. I could not find config.user file . Is it possible that 2.18 would work without the config.user file ? 3.6 /home/<user>/.config/gnucash This directory was empty so no config-user.scm file found . Is it possible that 3.6 would work without the config-user.scm file ? I cannot find any config files , what should I do next? ________________________________ From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+jimmy142=hotmail.co...@gnucash.org> on behalf of David Cousens <davidcousen...@gmail.com> Sent: 28 January 2024 20:09 To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] Balance Sheet fails to run for dates more than 7 month ago. James, You might want to take a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade. From V2 to V3 there was a change in the location of the reports. Changes in location s of files take place where necessary on the major version number changes. Further information is also available at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations. About halfway down the page are some diagrams which decode the more complex description given above them for the 3 major OS. There is normally a process run during the upgrade which checks the version level of the data file and makes any changes in the config files locations which may not have run depending on how you upgraded. In most cases the fix is just copying the old config files to the new location in the updated version.
