Hello,
I have been using gnuCash for many years mostly without problems but
yesterday ran into a tricky glitch. All of a sudden all my reports,
both default and custom reports, render a blank page. I am not aware of
having made any changes to GnuCash itself but have run 'apt update and
upgrade' o
I agree, the behavior should not be changed, but perhaps the UI could be
improved if people aren't realizing what is going on.
Of course, there is a responsibility for the user to learn the software,
how it works, and pay attention to things. (such as noticing last run
and next occurrence date
That would tell me you moved the file using Finder.
You can say 'yes' to remove it from the list if you like.
When you choose File > Open and find its new location, GnuCash will add
it back to the list with the new path.
If you move data files, GnuCash will give you this message. If you want

The recommended procedure when updating GnuCash from an old version to a newer
version is to first update to the last minor version of the major series number
, e.g. for 2.6 this is I think either 2.6.19 or 2.6.21 before up grading to the
3.x series. If you are up grading to version 4.xyou

One possible cause for this is a transaction (or more) accidentally entered
since the time you were last getting correct reconciliations at a date sometime
in the past. This has occurred for me sometimes when I have mistyped a date
entry, particularly the year, on entry. e.g date went in as

When you open the scheduled transaction in the transaction editor, you get
hit in the face with the listing of the last occurred date under the
Occurrences section. I think that pretty obviously suggests that the next
occurrence will follow the defined sequence from that date unless it is
edited.

I wouldn't think that. If I re-enable a scheduled transaction, keeping

I'm sure most users, accountants, and bookkeepers would agree scheduled

I think that's the issue... developers think as developers instead of

You don't have to delete and create a new one, just change the start date in
the one you have.

This sounds like a good case of not auto-creating them, but rather
approving them each time. There are options for this.

If those are set correctly, then something else is amiss.
Unfortunately, if you've already re-started GnuCash, the Tracefile was
overwritten, so if there is info there to help, it is gone.

Do you by chance have sub-accounts at play, and are you including them
in the reconcile? Sub-accounts *shouldn't* matter because 'if done

Hi Rich,
I had a problem with reconciling just over a year ago. It happened on 2
separate occasions.
My workflow to reconcile on both occasions was :-
1. Open the bank statement, and copy the closing balance.
2. Open the appropriate account in GnuCash.
3. Click the reconcile icon.
4. Enter the St
