See the wiki FAQ about upgrading. The suggested path is to upgrade to the end of each major version, running "Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All" at each step. So your path would have been: 2.4.13 -> 2.4.15 (final 2.4.x version, might be optional) -> 2.6.21 (last 2.6.x version)

Barry, In this message you state that ' administrato' is the good name to use but you do not say whether that is the username that you log into your computer with from a cold start or whether you are still logged in as administrato when you start Gnucash. When you start Gnucash do you get a

I needed to play with the invoices data a while ago and used the query below (gnucash file saved as an sqlite database). I didn't need the full invoice details and only selected a few of the fields. This should be enough to get you started. Note that the invoices are in one table and the invoice

Barry, A file attached to an email can be of any type -there is generally no requirement on the type of file to attach. Whether the recipient can then open it depends on the software they are using. Most of the common image formats (.jpg, .gif, .tif, .png etc) which are compressed bitmap images

Morgan, This is not really either an accounting or Gnucash specific issue but a legal issue. Companies are separate legal entities. How you do it will be determined by the legal position under the law in your jurisdiction. Companies do sell uncollected debts to collection companies in many

Hi Adrien,  I realize that 2.4.13, was extremely old, but it completely worked for me.  Whenever I upgraded, I always had a new set of issues, I really didn't have time to deal with.  2.4.13 started acting a little flaky with Windows 10, so I thought it may be time to install 5.3.  When I

Thank you Adrien for a) being so patient, and b) reacting properly to the unnecessary comments. Somewhere, way back, it is my impression that the requirement for attaching to posts had to be in jpg format, is that the case, or will a vanilla screen scrape do?? From this message that would

Hi again :) In addition to wanting to deal with some old invoices, I'm also wanting to generate a csv of invoice data. There's this post a few years back, but I feel there must be better. I've discovered the page on 'ledger-cli': https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ledger-CLI - which seems

That's mostly my fault on the 'administrato' vs. 'administator' issue. But I only kept typing that because Barry reported a file path at one point with that spelling, and I wasn't certain of a possible different language in use, so I didn't correct it. If Barry transcribed the file path
