Make sure you reply to the posting and not the Digest for Gnucash.

Otherwise the GnuCash mailing list thinks it needs to send multiple digests.

Re: Installation on Windows 10

[Chris Smith]

Try run in gnucash as administrator by right clicking on the icon and
selecting "Run as administrator"

What does that do?

Re: Manually entering historic records

[Chris Smith]

If you don't have it open elsewhere you can click "Open anyway"

Depending on how it shutdown the lock file may be there.

 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.

I thought I could test the water with a new business and associated bank
account that started in 2016.I've been managing this with a spreadsheet as
very few transactions.
So I set up a business set of accounts and tried entering manually, the
historic records... I'm immediately stumped. It does not let me enter past
dates. Clearly I'm going about this in the wrong way.Advice
appreciated.Trevor

How to best keep track of tax liabilities of a sole proprietorship

[Chris Smith]

I am using GnuCash for my freelance business. My dad always taught me to
set 30% of a check aside for the government's share.

How would you enter this to keep track of the tax liability? I am thinking
I'd have to enter it against my *Income:Sales* account as a transfer to
*Liabilities:Tax*

I figure at the end of the year *Asset:Checking Account* can transfer to
satisfy the true Tax liability.

One thing to note, I *don't* want the liability to effect reports on sales
reports. :/

Am I just overthinking this?
