For Windows users who may be wondering: Double-clicking a *.gnucash file _does_ open GnuCash on that file, without paying any attention to the most-recently-used list. (I know this is a side issue to the OP's question, but I thought out of all the Windows users I couldn't be the only one who was curious.)

Re: [GNC] Missing transactions
Thank you Derek, I used File -> Open to open a back-up file (instead of double -clicking on it) and it worked and my data is there. Not sure why it opened an old file automatically but I’m back on track now. Thanks again!

How do you normally open GnuCash? Keep in mind that on the Mac, GnuCash will *ALWAYS* open the most recent file you had open the last time you used GnuCash. If you double-click on a file, it WILL NOT open that file (unless it happens to be the last file you used). What this means is that the /ONLY/ way to change file on a Mac is via File -> Open. My guess is that you double-clicked on File A, and entered data thinking it was file A, but really it was file B -- and therefore you data is in File B. The best way to figure this out is to look at your files and look at the last-modified times of all of them, to figure out which one(s) may have your data. It is unlikely your data is gone, but it IS likely that it might be spread across multiple files, or not in the file you think it is in.
