AceMoney Forums

PC lost power and crashed, part way through entering a large number of transactions.
On restart, the recent transactions (since last starting AceMoney) are not there...
Is this the correct behaviour?
Are there any settings to force a periodic save?
Are any logfiles written with what has been updated?
Obviously we can enter all the transactions again, though in this case, it was quite a few, unfortunately.
Thanks

If you do not have "Auto save document" enabled in the "Tools | Options" dialog, then yes, unsaved transactions would be lost.

Yes. The "Auto save document" option saves the file immediately (not periodically) after you make ANY changes to the document's content.

There is one logfile, in the Windows %TEMP% folder, but it only logs things like app startup, OFX download attempts, etc. Not any details about individual transactions.

Yes, Auto save is checked was the answer I started to type.... but "aaarrrggghhh" closer examination shows that this option is not checked on just one of the PC's we use, the one that crashed of course.
Thanks very much for your answer. It's several years since we set up AceMoney and I had forgotten about that option.
