If you’re not able to open old files and old versions of GnuCash that worked before now don’t something outside of GnuCash is messed up. Let’s try a different tack entirely: Try installing GnuCash in a WSL instance and see if that will read your file. Regards, John Ralls > On Dec 22, 2024, at 1

No, I'm not knowledgeable about XML other than a sudden end to the file would jump out. And that the file is human readable when uncompressed. I suspect that there are tools to edit the beast. On Sun, Dec 22, 2024, 09:42 Jonathan A. Cohen wrote: > Any idea what I should look for in the XML? I

Are you talking about the list of choices that appears in the autocomplete dialog? That could become a serious issue if it keeps getting longer. On Sun, Dec 22, 2024, 10:23 AM Steve Miller wrote: > Running Windows 11, GnuCash 5.10. > > My checking account registers have so many saved auto-comple

But it did uncompress! That eliminates that step. You can now look at the resulting XML file to see anything obvious. Or, as John says, start stepping back through the backups to see where it works. On Sun, Dec 22, 2024, 08:34 Jonathan A. Cohen wrote: > Thanks, Steve. Uncompressing did not

Yes, but it takes a lot of work. You would need to standardize your descriptions to a select few and modify all prior entries to be in that selected set. On Sun, Dec 22, 2024, 08:23 Steve Miller wrote: > Running Windows 11, GnuCash 5.10. > > My checking account registers have so many saved auto

If Notepad++ is able to indent XML you could look for a tag at the wrong indentation level. It should be in one level and the top-level element will be Once you find a backup file that loads you could uncompress that and diff between the good file and bad file. A brief web search found winmer

If you wanted to reorder the splits, it appears that GnuCash always sorts them so that the debits are first and the credits afterwards. When there are multiple debits or credits, I cannot tell how or why GnuCash sorts them as it does. The HOW gnucash sorts transactions (entered in "journal form
