I thought you had the answer, I had 5 voided transactions 'buried' amoungst my data. I reset them using the filter option and then saved the filter, but I still can't delete these a/cs I have. The voided transactions have disappeared from the accounts in question, but still reappear when searching all accounts. What's going on?

The "Read-only" treshold is one. If you have voided a transaction, that one will become read-only as well. And if the transaction is the result of posting an invoice or bill using the business features, it will equally be read-only. There may be other reasons but I only know of these. Solutions: In the case of a voided transaction, unvoid it. In case of a transaction from a bill or invoice (or employee voucher for that matter), use the business features to unpost it again.

All the accounts are in one file, so if you have read access to the file then it is not a permissions issue. How are you trying to delete the account and exactly what do you see when you try to delete it?

When you delete an account that contains transactions it should ask you which account you want to move them to.

Read only transactions
Hi I still haven't sorted my Quicken import, getting the correct balances without a 'balance adjustment' is difficult. But the question is: How do i delete an account when it contains read only transactions? I know i can move the transactions elsewhere, but I need to delete the accounts. I understand that the 'placeholder box' needs to be unchecked; it already is. Need a solution, Google yields nothing. thanks Cliff ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
