Thanks Adrien that is getting a little closer. Just leaving this here for
others.
1. I tried reordering but it had no effect.
2. Defining a color for 'register_cursor_fg_color' and
'register_cursor_color' didn't change anything.
3. '@define-color register_cursor_bg_color' is the same as

Cool! Well if I leave the *.gnc-class-register-cursor

Unfortunately not quite. This makes both the placeholder and entered text
purple. In the built-in color theme, the placeholder text is gray and italic,

Not sure either, maybe reverse them in the file?
Kudos for still maintaining track of your finances at 90!
Your welcome. I'm glad you got into your proper file.

Donna,
Others have sufficiently answered, but I'll add some points about backups:
There is the maxim, for least risk, that if your data does not exist in
three places, on three different types of media, you can consider it
'not existing at all.'
That might be extreme for some folks. As

I may have been double clicking the data file. I followed our

Richard (Clarkson),
You mentioned in the other thread that you also tried from PowerShell.
Is there no output there when it fails to completely open?
Have you tried to view the Windows Logs to see if any warnings or errors
were reported about the time you tried to start GnuCash?
Of course,
Holy Cow.
This thread is a disaster.
Richard Clarkson, please, unless you can help Richard Barmann, do not
reply any longer in this thread. Please, start a new one or if still
applicable, reply in your own old thread.
The two of you are replying to questions meant for the other and others
I see that there is a Richard Barmann having an issue with Gnucash opening
an old data file and a Richard Clarkson having an issue with versions more
recent than 4.9 failing to start. In my email client their messages are
inextricably tangled. I also see that now Richard Clarkson is discussing

No it doesn't. The path is C:/Program Files (x86)/gnucash/bin/gnucash.exe
My data file is GNUData.gnucash - there are of course backups. But even if I
try to open GnuData.gnucash with GnuCash Program File then nothing happens.

Richard, does your GNUCash file have a date string in the name? If so,
then you are inadvertently using a backup file. Your filename should be
FILENAME.gnucash (FILENAME is whatever you decided to call it)
If it looks like:
FILENAME.gnucash.20220909023225.gnucash (insert a valid date time
I am using Windows 10.When I close Gnucash and return the next day I
cannot find the correct up to date file fr0m the day before. I tried to
save/ and then close Gnucash. I wll see if that works.

Hi JeffI had a similar issue with reports on GNC 4.11 when Ubuntu got an
update when I was running 22.04.Although, when I ran the report and the display
screen was blank, I ran the output to PDF and the report data was populated.
I understand reports use webkitgkt file to produce reports.To fix
Came home to find my Ubuntu server, where GNC and all of my books are,
saying there was an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS. Like
an idiot I didn't check it, just clicked do it, it's an LTS upgrade
after-all.
After several hours it finished. I opened what was GNC 4.10 FlatPak
