Ornithology, sounds like you are starting fresh. If you’ve used Gnucash for years you probably forgot you have to create or choose a chart of accounts as a starting point. The help files are great for guiding you through the process. > On Dec 11, 2022, at 10:34 AM, Derek Atkins wrote: > >

Even riskier is clicking a link with a Cyrillic a (thanks unicode utf8), looks great and very wrong.  Don't go by eye.  Use a trusted bookmark?  Use gnucash.org?  host names are case insensitive. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org
