Re: F::Q 1.40 uploaded

Erik, Thank you for working on a fix to the Yahoo! Finance problem. I am sure it has been a challenge. As a general question to the GnuCash-users list: How do various GnuCash users upgrade their F::Q to use this newest version, and how should the environment variable be set? On my Mac, for

Re: Bank reconciliation history

Mark, The simple answer is “No.” There isn’t any way from the GnuCash application to see which transactions were reconciled on which statements. I believe that the GnuCash data file does store reconcile information in the data file, but that information is not exposed in the GUI. You might be

Re: help finding my file

Lorrie, With regard to the files on the desktop, David Carlson's advice is sound. As for keeping the app on your computer, I suspect that you were opening gnucash from the downloaded disk image; you must drag gnucash.app from that image into the Applications folder to complete the installation. 

Re: command line QIF import

What do you mean "failed"? They aren't in the gnucash file at all? Or, they import incorrectly?  If the latter, take a look at some of the transactions that failed; is there something in common?  In my Quicken data, it was transactions that had no categories that caused the most problems. Fill

Re: importing

Frank, The *other* David suggested importing each account separately; I was suggesting importing all at once. In my (admittedly ancient) experience, I worked to get the Quicken data just so, and when I imported everything, I had little to no duplicates. David (T.) > On Oct 7, 2017, at 7:17

Bob, I’m no expert, but the Guide at 14.5 says: "You can specify the billing terms on each invoice/bill. Invoice billing terms will default from the customer billing terms. Bill billing terms will default from the vendor billing terms.” It makes no statement about setting up default terms for

Re: Add icon for "Get Transactions..."

Drew, As I understand it, there is no facility to customize the toolbars in GnuCash, since the underlying toolkit, gtk, doesn’t offer it. At least, that is what I was told when I asked a similar question a couple of years back. Sorry. As Derek noted, patches to enable this would be welcomed.

Ken, I don’t know where in the code base you want to look—but I will note that “the last day of the month” is more difficult to calculate than “the first day of the month.” The first day is always number 1; the last day varies month to month. I know some software packages make use of a

The biggest problem with the database back end is users' misconception that its use implies database functionality. They think it will allow them to perform database actions on the data set,  as well as have multiple users simultaneously. As you know, neither of these is true at this time.
