You should subscribe to the gnucash-devel list; we have had spam problems, so we only allow subscribers to post. In any case, I can answer your question, and I'm sending the answer back to the list as well. > I have been considering using GnuCash for a while, but I have > only recently started investigating the functionality it offers. > It looks to be very good, and should replace most of what I use > Quicken for.

Classes are one of several features that are coming in a big lump in the next few weeks. There are a lot of cross-dependencies and file format changes, so it's easiest to get them all at once. Of course that means you get a whole batch of new bugs at once, too. We didn't until recently have anyplace to put the Class information from your Quicken files. Now we do; you can put as many identifying "tags" as you want on a transaction. The user interface will be limited at first, but with the next release of the QIF importer you will at least be able to preserve Class information from imported QIF files. > Furthermore the classes can be reported as sub accounts of a bank > account, but they do not affect the actual transactions in the > main account. This is useful when reconciling the main account. Absolutely. We'll probably use tags extensively in budgeting, savings goals, etc. Bill Gribble _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
