Crash and file currupt?

[Jimbo]

Hi all,

I was just working on a file when all of a sudden icash quit, when I try to open the file it keeps crashing the app. I duplicated the file and tried to rebuild the index but this just removed all of my transactions!!

It is a very important file, is there anything I can do?

I have now upgraded icash, and managed to recover database, but mot the the transactions have 0.00 entered...

Any ideas welcome

Have you checked the privileges on your system? It is possible the file had wrong privileges or was created in a folder with wrong privileges. That can causes crashes or data not being recorded.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I have managed to get back to an old version through the backup version in my documents folder... (great idea!!)

Now I have 2 versions:
One which is an old file but has all the data apart for a few months which was entered just before the crash, and a recovered file that is missing a lot of prices but has those missing months. Can i transfer those transactions to the other file?

You can try to export and import the transactions using text. Importing text is explained here Importing from text.html
