Hi, thanks Adrien. I really don't know if I'm subscribed to the list or what or not.  I'm very inept at this mailing list thing. It was only on my last reply that I actually found the 'reply to all' facility on Yahoo mail here.  And I used it.  Previously I've been laboriously copying and

It could just be that you're providing a simplified example, but in that screenshot I noticed every single line had the Checking Account as the 'Transfer' account. (other account) Why not just run the report on the Checking Account only? It would then give you a running balance that makes

Perhaps a clarification as you mentioned would be best and easiest for now. I'd dare ask, if you're sorting primarily by date, with multiple accounts selected, what do you want the running balance to be? Just those accounts? (is that even useful?) Or the entire Book? Any of those could get

One trick I've heard works wonders from someone who has used it: Don't *just* charge a late fee. Bymp your rent to *include* the (former) late fee and still list the late fee. Then offer a discount (removing the original late fee) for early payment. For example: Current Rent $1000 Current

You may be also interested in viewing the General Journal (Tools menu). This defaults to 30 days, but you can use View > Filter by... and change that to 'all'. (or your desired date range) Then run Reports > Account Report. You'll get a similar report with all transactions for all accounts

Rosepetals, I am not sure how the log files were constructed in that very early version but since release 2.6-something they only contain changed information, so they are usually less than a megabyte, depending on how often you do a file save or allow or force the automatic backup. A few times

The process needs to be right before worrying about the accounts: 1. If your tenant is reluctant to pay rent find a new tenant, no different to any other business clients that are hard work. 2. Weekly tenant notices with the amount owing seems more like harassment, and too much work
