Hard to say how bad this is. I'd start with the newest data file (by modification date) that does NOT include the 14-digit timestamp, and see what was there. That may or may not be the file named "GC January 12 2019.gnucash". More likely it's newer ("GC January 15 2020.gnucash", for example).

1. File->Save As --- save into your new location. Exit Gnucash. 2. From your favorite file manager, move all remaining gnucash files into the new location. Note that the base data file will already be there, since you saved it there in step 1, so you don't need that. You could of course do it

Further to 2: assuming GnuCash version 3.x, read https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3, which explains how to use the underlying CSS to modify thre appearance. There are also numerous discussions on the lists over the years that cover this. I'd try searching for discussions about css.

You could fix the one error, then reconcile to the last statement you have. Presumably, it will only differ by the amount of the transactions you changed. That's a lot less work... Original Message From: Gio Bacareza Sent: Thu Jun 11 13:39:20 EDT 2020 To: Adrien Monteleone
