Thank you David. Would it be correct for me to assume that *any* account type can be edited prior to the addition of any data? Either way, it sounds like this can be an iterative process to an extent. And that most negative consequences can be reversed with a little creativity. Tim > On Feb 2

[GNC] Postgress connection string for nonstandard port

2023-02-21 Thread Bob Treumann
I am running PG on an amazon server on a non standard port (6543). The connection setup on gnucash does not have a filed to input the port. I added the port to the end of the hostname, a style that has worked with other applications. There is a field to enter the "database", which in PG contains

Hi Abe, One thing that helped me to understand using GnuCash when I first started was the naming of the columns. If you unset Edit->Preferences->Accounts->Label->Use formal accounting labels you then get column headings such as Receive and Spend rather than Debit and Credit. Much easier to get
