Hi Adrien (from Gold Coast Down Under) 1. I copied all the transaction files to Computer 2 2. I downloaded the latest version of GNU Cash to Computer 2 3. I presumed (wrongly?) that it would function identically to Computer 1 4. The purpose of Computer 2 is simply as a backup in case of issues on Computer 1 5. On opening Balance Sheet in Computer 2 using the same date as Computer 1 the account balances appear 6. The aggregates totals show as Zero (Total Assets, Total Liabilities and other sub-totals) 7. Thus I am unable to see at a glance that the systems as a whole is in balance.
I would prefer not to have to export to a spreadsheet just to ensure balancing is correct. Is there a step that I have missed ?
