Re: Could not obtain the lock

Hi Moira, What about the folder that the GC data file is in - is that read-only? can you create a file in that folder using some other program, say notepad or word? Don't know how windows manages username permissions - I know that some files can only be touched by an administrator. You

Re: Reconciling Manually Downloaded Transactions

I forgot to answer your second question. There is a problem with mucking about in the underlying register view while the import assistant is running, because if you accidentally touch one of the new incoming transactions you trigger warning messages that you really do not want to see. If you can

Re: Reconciling Manually Downloaded Transactions

AAK, Yes, that is the way Gnucash behaves when you select the Update + Reconcile option while matching transactions. I rarely use that option for that very reason. I mostly use the Reconcile option. I will get on my soapbox here, since I think that the word Reconcile is not used correctly in

Reconciling Manually Downloaded Transactions

I download transaction activity from my bank in a QFX format. When I match them with pre-existing transaction and finalize the import process I see that GC overrides the payee names i have in the register with the cryptic names downloaded from the bank. Is there a way to prevent that? Also, when

Re: I applied payment to wrong customer

Nelson, thanks for the response. It turned out that this was an incorrect duplicate entry, so just the deletion part from your suggestion #1 was the solution. In my case the payment was a check that I had logged in GC as depositing into my bank checking account, so (naturally) the bank

Error - possibly caused by incorrect F::Q update

Hi First off: I would like to pay tribute to all those who have worked on GnuCash to provide a valuable tool and to those who have worked to circumvent the recent problems caused by Yahoo. To all of them, my thanks. But I have a problem (probably caused by my own ignorance). I am running

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_online_quoting_work.3F The windows version for running gnc-fq-check omits the fact these are perl scripts. IMHO, the lines should be modified to include "perl": *To determine the version of Finance::Quote you have installed:* Open a

Could not obtain the lock

Hi, I am getting this same message, but I cannot locate an .LCK or .LNK file in the relevant folder. I moved my files from an old laptop to a new one, by simply copying them and then installing the program on the new computer. I opened GnuCash after transferring the files with no problem. Since

Two different sets of accounts

Hello, experts, I am Treasurer of two clubs. I have used Gnucash for both, but up to now I have had two different Macintosh computers, one for each club. Now I have traded my old computers for one fancy new MacBook Pro. My two sets of accounts are currently held on a USB stick for each. But even
