David, I'm not sure which item you're referring to, so I'll say a bit about each: (1) As far as I can figure, if I want to add a quote source, like US EE/E/I savings bonds, I have to write my own Perl code to get it done. The existing Finance::Quote modules just don't work, or at least not when I

Hello I apologize for my poor English. I use GnuCash since 2011 and usually I am able to solve this kind of problem by myself if necessary modifing the perl files of Finance::Quote. But now I'm going crazy with this problem. I've got this error since february 14 on two different PC with Ubuntu

Ken- Thank you so much! This worked great. For the record, I: * Saved the file to ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/Quote/ * Edited ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/Quote.pm to add USFedBonds to the Modules section around Line 180. The one thing I'll have to change is that up to now, I've been holding the EE

Ken, You have obviously devoted a significant amount of time to the entire process needed to track EE bonds in GnuCash and I think that it would be nice to document your work in a way that other users could find it and benefit from it. I am not a developer nor do I know the best place in the

Thanks for this information. Would it be possible to either add a note about how this is done to the appropriate section of the FAQ or to file a bug report to enhance the program to do this without editing Perl code? David C On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 7:57 PM, farleykj

Start by reading the Tutorial and the Help Manual. Once you have created a chart of accounts you just open the register for whichever account you want to enter a transaction into, type any date into the date box and go from there. David C On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 8:22 AM,
