Are most of the displayed balances nonzero? If so, data must be inthe file to get nonzero summary figures. On the other hand, if most ofthe balances are zero, it might mean you have no data, or it might meanyou "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 FindTransaction dialog. Enter search criteria that would take in mostrecords -- Description contains e, for example, or Value has credits ordebits greater than or equal to 0.01.Also, make sure you haven't set a filter that excludes all data. In theregister for one of your no-data accounts, click View?? Filter By andmake sure that Show All is selected. If changing to Show All revealsdata, make the same change in your other accounts. (N.B. When you changether flter to Show All, you probably want to tick the "Save Filter" boxat the bottom of the dialog.)Stan BrownTehachapi, CA, USAhttps://BrownMath.com------------------------------Message: 2Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2024 11:56:52 +1100From: Liz <ed...@billiau.net>To: "gnucash-user@gnucash.org" <gnucash-user@gnucash.org>Subject: Re: [GNC] Account Register not PopulatingMessage-ID: <20241115115652.26871...@zenbook3.billiau.net>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCIIOn Thu, 14 Nov 2024 23:31:31 +0000Robin Lake via gnucash-user <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote:> I believe there is now only one little quibble remaining.

Dan,Your main data file (set of books is stored at a location you will havedecided on when you first ran GnuCash and did a File->Save to somespecific location on a hard drive. GunCash by default creates backupfiles of that file and log files which are useful in the event a crashcauses corruption of the main data file.The main data file will be named <filename>.gnucash where <filename> isthe name you have given the file.The backup files will be named <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.gnucashand the log files will be named<filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.log.<timestamp> is 1 14 characcter numerical string giving the date(yearmonth and day and time (hours, min, sec) of creation o f the file in theformat YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. If you move the file(s) to another locationGnuCash will not find them when you start it again and you can useFile_Open to navigate to the new location and open the<filename>.gnucash file.? You would only access the backup and logfiles after having a system crash where the <filename>.gnucash becomescorrupted.It is generally recommended that you create a folder/directory (it canbe named <filename>) and place all of the above files with <filename>.*in that directory.? This simplifies backup of the files to anotherdevice as you simply backup the whole directory. In addition there is user preference data (including saved reports etc)and configuartion data as described on the wiki page. About half waydown that page under the heading Diagrams of Configuration LocationsYou will find links to diagrams showing the locations of that data inthe file heirarchy. You may wish to backup? the data in? c:\Documentsand Settings\<user>\\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash to preserve the userpreference dataThere is no problem locating the main data file in any locationaccessible from your file system including cloud locations, Dropboxes,Network file storage etc. MOve it and then use the File->Open dialogueto find and open itDavid CousensOn Thu, 2024-10-17 at 15:32 -0400, Dan a1TNC wrote:> I'm wanting to use GNC in a Windows land where there are different> OSs.

We might have a tab left open for these (for rerunning them) but have a series going back into the past of the same report but previous running of it. For example, Balance Sheet (as of date X, as of date Y, as of date Z, etc.)b) Reports which I will call special. We have made modifications to exclude accounts, etc. Of course these too might have a series of previous running of them (as in "a")For case "a", after running (for date W) I would be saving BUT not within gnucash. In other words, after running I would export it. I would have a directory (folder) with a name like "saved reports" and within that folders (directories) like "Balance Sheets", "Revenue Statements", etc, So that I could tell them apart, would make date part of the file name (so might be BalanceSheet20241115 if run today). So yes you would be moving a directory like that when moving to a new computer, but not as part of moving gnucash but as part of moving ALL data directories.For case "b", besides saving specific runs of a report like above I would want a saved version within gnucash if not used so often as to deserve an open tab. That is to save all those modifications, what accounts included, etc.In other words, I would save WITHIN gnucash ONE version of each report I use and save outside of gnucash previous runs of each of these reports.Michael D Novack------------------------------Message: 7Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:44:21 -0600From: David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com>To: stepbystepfarm@comcast.netCc: gnucash-user@gnucash.orgSubject: Re: [GNC] Account Register not PopulatingMessage-ID: <CADYgSbkZTp46hpF3xX1=us7s_e57zmwfznsnkoayj1xy8td...@mail.gmail.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Michael D Novac,You make a very good point with your illustration point 'a'.However, for your point 'b', GnuCash has a quirk that any custom reportconfigurations that the user saved under the menu Reports > Saved ReportConfigurations are not actually stored in the main data file, but in aseparate location where other 'User' stuff is saved, such as which registerwindows and report windows were open as of the last time that particularGnuCash data file was actually closed using File > Quit or by clicking onthe "X' icon in the upper right corner of the GnuCash window and the widthsof most of the columns [except Description] are in those register windowsand the specific options selected in those open report windows. Userpreferences saved under Edit > Preferences also are not in the data file.Note that Search windows disappear and are not saved when GnuCash is shutdown.Also, as R Losey noted earlier, the locations of most of those other 'user'files is nicely shown in the 'About' window.. The only problem I have withthat is that it works nicely in Linux, but in Windows 10 I was unable tofind them there. I think one needs to check the page [https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Questions_about_Backups] for informationrelating to Windows 10/11 installations.Lastly, I must offer the disclaimer that I only know about using the[compressed or uncompressed]XML data file format, but not either of the twodatabase file formats that may also be used.On Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 9:31?AM Michael or Penny Novack via gnucash-user <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote:> On 11/14/2024 9:34 PM, R Losey wrote:> > I'm glad your accounts are there with your data.> >> > As other people noted, the Saved Reports are not stored with the saved> > data; they are part of the user configuration.>> I think we should keep in mind that there are two (rather different)> meanings for which the term "saved reports" can be applied.>> a) Our regular repeated reports.
