Keith,
Similar to what Mike and other’s described here, I use an asset account for
this.
I have an Assets > Current Assets > Reimbursements account (with sub accounts
for friends and family members whom I regularly share expenses with, usually
for gifts) that I use in these cases.
An example
Location of that preference must be OS specific. On Mac it is in File >
Properties. This is a window of Book preferences. (as apposed to application
preferences)
Setting it to “0” turns off the read-only function.
I don’t ever recall messing with this. I just happened to look it up after

Nothing obvious to point out, unfortunately. GnuCash normally does not have

I would account for it as your original thought: debit cash, credit gift
expense.
As far as you are concerned, you paid for half of the gift, so your total
expense is half the cost of the gift. Not all money you receive is income.

I think you said that you had already made sure that neither hidden
nor placeholder are set for the account you are trying to edit. If you
can identify one of the transactions then check that the other account
in that transaction is also not hidden or placeholder.

I don't know where the gnc-fq-* files are put on a Linux installation, but
they are just short Perl scripts that do the stuff for you. I'm on OS X, and
on there the files are in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin
Either way, here the text from "gnc-fq-update". You can copy this into a

That is very interesting and a good justification to provide such an
option. I however like the current right justification because I have
designed my account names to have some critical-to-me distinctions at the
end of the name. Sometimes that is account owners initials or the last
four digits o

When viewing a ledger in gnucash 2.6.15 (rev 1ef17e6+), the description

there a way to make the account names be left justified?
Thanks.

Well, the red line read only option is not in release 2.6.11. I am
surprised that it might not be defaulting to 0 (off) for some users.
There is another possibility. The General Ledger view (under the Tools
menu button) defaults to only show the last 30 days, which could make it
appear that older

If not, I would suggest starting over to get at least reasonably close to a

It sounds to me like you have to increase the number of days for "Read
only" transactions. Try clicking on the file menu, then preferences.
In the "Accounts" tab, increase "Day Threshold for Read-Only
Transactions (red line):". You can set the number of days to to
something like 800
Hi Trevor,
What exactly is it doing to prevent you from entering past dates? I enter them
all the time. You do have to enter the / dividers. Like instead of 11418 you
would have to enter 1/14/18 to get the date to come out right.
