Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
R Losey -- Thank you for your reply. I think the 136K file size is with data. This is what it was on the old computer. I have three accounts in gnuCash, Two very minimal activity, one just normal household activity. They are only about three years old. Yes, the column headings are wrong. Haven't found where I could open any other register type. Therein is my problem, I believe. To use your example below, the main file is RobinBook, other entries are RobinBook. gnucash."date stamp".gnucash. Each one is about the same size at 136K. I still have the old computer with the original files. I also have a thumb drive with a backup of the old computer.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
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.)

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
Given that the file size is okay, it is odd that you are only seeing your expense accounts. What does the "Accounts" page show? My bank accounts are under Assets-Current Assets; if I right-click and select "Edit Account", I see that the "Type" is "Bank". Are your bank accounts missing? Dumb question: Are you sure you opened the account file? On my Mac, the window title has the name of the open file, and I always use File->Open to open an account file (but GnuCash defaults to the last one open, it seems, so I rarely have to do this).

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
One more thing. If you only transfer the XML data file without also transferring the User files mentioned in that Backup reference, the data file will open without the various tabs in the Tab Bar that were kept nicely organized in those User files, so it will look like you lost the rergisters when you actually only lost the saved view of tabs on the tab bar.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
R Losey (et alia) -- I am deeply indebted to you. This was the key to my dilemma: "My bank accounts are under Assets-Current Assets;". I clicked on the Bank Account name under Current Assets, and there they came. I believe there is now only one little quibble remaining. I no longer have my Saved Reports. If you can advise where I can find them I would be even more ecstatic.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
Robin Looks as though you are almost sorted. I have recently upgraded to Windows 11. Gnucash Version 5.9 Build ID 5.9+(2024-09-28) Windows 11Version 24H2 (OS Build 26.100.216 1) All my reports are blank. When I go to print an invoice the tab that comes up contains nothing.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
Hello Robin, A couple of times when I changed computers, I completely lost the files and could not open them (I tried opening them but there were no transactions). The solution that worked at the time was replaying the GnuCash .log file as per screenshot below. Have you tried that? There should be a log file in the folder where you had your original files. [image: image.png] I hope this helps. Regards, Inma de la Torre On Thu, 14 Nov 2024 at 21:50, Robin Lake via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > R Losey -- > > Thank you for your reply.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
Robin, You say that you only have three accounts in GnuCash. There should be many more than that. Take a look under Help to see some examples. You have one page label on the Tab Bar called Accounts. Your three bank accounts fall under Assets, but there should be other accounts under Liabilities, Income, Expense and Equity as well. Your column headers have different names in each account type. Open the Accounts tab to find the other accounts. On Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 3:49 PM Robin Lake wrote: > R Losey -- > > Thank you for your reply. I think the 136K file size is with data.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
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. You will either need to re-create them (this is what I had to do when my computer died and I only had been backing up the main data file) or you can get them by copying the saved reports from the user configuration... it can be found in the About menu. I'm currently on my Mac, so the menu and file locations are different than on Windows. On the Mac, both the UserData and UserConfig directories are the same, and that's where my saved reports are located.

Re: [GNC] Account Register not Populating
I don't know about this for sure (I guess it depends on the number of transactions and the number of accounts); however, I have about 8 years of data and my data file is 2.4M (I'm using the default - a compressed XML file); your 136K size sounds like a blank new file to me. "Bank" accounts should have headers of "Deposit, Withdrawal, and Balance" (unless you are using formal accounting labels). It sounds like you were looking at an Expense account -- they have headers of "Expense, Rebate, and Balance" Did they also copy over the auto backup files? If you main file is "Robin.gnucash", they will look like "Robin..gnucash" - are they all about 136k also? Did you have your own backups of the main file? Something definitely seems wrong. I hope the store did a full backup of your old computer and that they still have it.
