Quicken 2005 Home & Business lost data

I've used three versions of Quicken Home and Business over the years
and never had any problems. I opened the program one day to find that
my bank check book register showed that I was $15,000 in the red where
I should have been about $2000 in the black. Since this account
reaches back over several years I can't easily find where the problem
lies. I've also discovered while doing Reports for taxes that numerous
transaction entered in the check book register have vanished -- like
my monthly payment for health insurance -- a whole year and halfs
worth. Has anyone else had this sort of problem. Do you have any
suggestions for dealing with apparently lost data?

Well, you can try and restore a backup copy, if you have one.

There is also the option to rebuild and verify the file.

It sounds as if something nasty got your data, and it is corrupted.
