Interesting. I seem to recall someone instructing people to use only lists.gnucash.org for such searches, and was not aware of the reference you cite. A search of the wiki only shows an example for lists.gnucash.org on the mailing lists page. I must be showing my age... David T. On January

Re: [GNC] Lost all my transactions on Gnu cash

David, Gnucash maintains its own list server; your search should reference that. David T. On January 15, 2019, at 8:02 AM, David Cousens wrote: Also returns from a Mojave specific search

Re: [GNC] Reconciling different periods?

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but perhaps it will be cleared if I tell you that reconciling is a process that applies **as of a certain date.** In other words, the bank says my balance *as of* December 11 is $100.00. When I reconcile, I enter that closing balance, and then

Re: [GNC] Installation on a Mac

The installation for Gnucash is like many other Mac apps that I've loaded that had a dmg file that opened up, and the user was expected to drag the app into the Applications folder. Someone must have felt this was a common enough practice to obviate the need for explanation. Unfortunately,
