Thanks David. I appreciate understanding how the program works. This is
helpful to know, even though it doesn't cure my problem. At least now I know
that if I can figure out how to read the log file it would help me to
manually reconstruct the transactions for the missing account.

On a MAC, you cannot double-click on a file. The "Open File" message

you can open a specific data file on a Mac.

Hi Anita.
I don't use a Mac, but I do know that you can't click-on-a-datafile to open it,
you have to explicitly use the GC menu to File->Open an alternative (ie

If you are clicking on backups in the file manager, this might explain some of
the behaviour you are seeing.
