Re: [GNC] How to Reclassify Invoice Amounts

Many thanks, Diane. I was able to accurately reconcile both PayPal and our checking account monthly using the old method as I would post each transaction from the respective statement. It worked until we started getting payments from a 3rd-party servicer. Then I end up with a overpayment or a

Reinstalling GnuCash isn't likely to accomplish anything, and it's very unlikely that updating Microsoft Access has anything to do with the problem. A bit more troubleshooting is in order. First, look at a tracefile (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile) from a crashed session to see if

John and David. Thank you for your time. Following Johns suggestion I have located the latest gnu.trace file which is copied below. Could you help please with identifying errors: It also seems that all data entries covering the month of Nov2018 have been deleted from the lists of accounts (ie

Thank you for your response David, suggesting “other” program updates on my Windows 10 set up, including a recent upgrade to MS Office 2019 which includes Access, may be responsible for causing my GNUCash 2.6.19 to crash every time I select a report. That being the only suggestion (so far), I

Tried all these suggestions (including Mr Janssens suggestion naming the file config-user.scm) and nothing new shows up in the reports pulldown. The trace file after the reboot was empty. On 12/6/2018 8:22 AM, D wrote: Also, the file name should be "config.user" and not " config.user.txt"

Thanks, Adrien, Thats exactly what I've been doing since your last message to me, editing the entry in my PayPal register. Thanks so very much for your responses. I needed to get my thinking right as to process. I now understand it much better and am progressing quick;y towards getting 2018

I just got my custom report to work on my wife's Windows 10 machine. 1.  Be sure that notepad can open and read the files without strange characters. 2.  Files must be in the %APPDATA%/GnuCash folder (C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash) 3.  Config file is named: config-user.scm

Arnie, I just fired up GnuCash release 2.6.19 on Windows 10 Version10.0.17134 Build 17134and I produced and printed a couple of reports without a crash, so if you have a comparable build, that would probably not be your problem. Try John's suggestions if possible. David C On Sun, Dec 9,

Thank you Stephen for your response. Sounds like sticking with 2.6.19 should be OK unless I’m advised a later release would suit better. I cannot see any un-names accounts but I follow your logic. Arnie. Sent from my iPhone. > On 9 Dec 2018, at 9:19 pm, Stephen M. Butler wrote: > >>

Unfortunately there are no useful clues in the trace file. You might try opening a powershell window and starting GnuCash from the prompt (“C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash”) to see if guile is writing anything that isn’t getting captured by the logging facility. Do not-customized
