Re: How to create an asset with a reduced value compared to my regular currency (dollars)

Adrian, While I am not an accountant, historically I have used a method similar to that suggested by Adrien. However, I am intrigued by the answer provided by Michael Novack, as it avoids the problem of overstating potentially taxable income without needing to have a group of accounts to

Re: GnuCash: Import CSV File Format

I don't think that there is a specification beyond the generic CSV format, which is grouping chunks of text separated by commas into groups separated by a carriage return. Check with your favorite spreadsheet program for help. When you want to import a file into GnuCash you then assign 'columns'

Re: How to create an asset with a reduced value compared to my regular currency (dollars)

I have to concur on the $70 gift idea. You paid $430 for a stored value card that has $500 on it. This is no different than if you handed a bank teller $430 in small bills and they returned to you 5 one hundred dollar bills. (assuming the bank is just fine with that) When you spend $100 from

Re: gnucash file could not be found

Re: gnucash file could not be found

Hi Mike, Think you've hit a weird interaction of the Gnucash Program (well, some of it's underlying modules) and MacOS. However you invoke Gnucash, it will *always* try to load the most recently used data file on a Mac. Once you have cleared the "cant Find file" message, use the Gnucash

Re: gnucash file could not be found

Mike, GnuCash automatically attempts to open the last file you used, even if that file is no longer where GnuCash thinks it is. Moreover, on Macs, GnuCash tries to open that last file *even if you double click on another GnuCash file from Finder.* The workaround is that you use File-> Open to
