Hi John, I'm pretty sure there is no secret list of all the gnucash data files you've opened.
You might like to check you just are not seeing some transactions because of a filter you've applied: In the register, View Filter By If you still cannot see some transactions, the list of recently opened files is held (In Windows) int the registry. This may help: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-May/077231.html See my mail at the end.

Thanks anyway, and perhaps there is a list.. which hopfully someone can point me to, before I start searching my harddrive with a partition microscope.

Run a transaction report and only show activity in Q4 (or a P&L/Income Statement) Do you get blank results or does something show up to indicate the data is there? If you get decent reporting, perhaps the register you are viewing is set to some filter. > > Other than that, without a backup... > > Regards, > Adrien > >> On Jan 24, 2019, at 8:07 PM, John Sears via gnucash-user <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: >> >> Hi , >> >> Yep I've already tried this, and found various previous versions ( backups - which I obviously did not do often enough) .. but none on my computer with any log files or the transactions for Q4. I was rather hoping that GNU cash would list the files with the URI somewhere ( beyond the 4 that it does show under the file tab). Im assuming that the four listed files are dydnamic and it only keeps the four URI's? >> >> >> Thanks, >> >> John >> >> >> >> On 25/1/19 9:51 AM, Adrien Monteleone wrote: >>> You could use your file manager search function to look for *.gnucash files. >>> >>> But within GnuCash, do this: >>> >>> Try to open one of the files in your history list in the File menu. >>> If it exists still in that same place, it will open, if not, it will >>> tell you the URI of where it was expected to find it.

I have been living a fairly hectic life since, moving country, massively downsizing etc, and a fairly annoying pc problem. I am sure that I did a lot of work on GNU Cash in Q4, but noticed the other day that all of these transactions were missing and that my GNUCash was pointing at an old GNUCash file. I've looked everywhere on my computer and USBs for the file that I think might contain the transactions that I am sure I put in ( It was a lot of work, so I don't want to just retype them again), but I just cannot find the file. >>>> >>>> I notice that GNUCash highlights the last 4 files that have been >>>> opened ( under the file tab) .
