I am the person that had the problem. Windows defender blocked gnucash,
quicken and open office. I posted a fix but I did not save it.
On my wife's computer quicken listed the programs that were blocked and was an
easy fix.
My computer I went into settings and found windows defender settings and
unchecked. If you can't find it I will look tomorrow.
Was not very nice of MS to do this. Someone had to do this on purpose

My recollection is spotty but that sounds familiar. Maybe related, (or the same
person) a few weeks ago someone could only save using Win10 to a thumb drive -
for any app. They settled on continuing to do so and not proceeding down the
rabbit hole further as far as I know.
If the user has access to their alleged user files, then they aren?t logged in
as a guest, so that isn?t the problem.
If permissions are all set to ?allow? then that is ruled out.
That would leave either some sort of security measure (as you alluded to) or a
drive space issue. (which supposedly isn?t the problem here either)
I?m not familiar with Win10?s security measures at the moment. Perhaps they
have some sort of ?trusted apps? list where GnuCash can be white-listed similar
to firewall settings.

Problem solved! Adrien & Colin were correct - the issue was with Windows
Defender (I am running Windows 10). There must have been a recent update that
created this problem, not sure.
In any case, I fixed it by opening Windows Security in Settings and then going
to Controlled Folder Access. I clicked on "Allow an App through Controlled
Folder Access," found the GnuCash .exe file, and selected it. When I reopened
the GnuCash app, everything worked normally (no more error messages).
Thanks to everyone who responded!

Message-ID: <23947.53784.961548.127...@enki.delphioutpost.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
On this topic:
The import was successful but the transactions were put into the old VISA
account instead of GnuCash asking me what account they should go to.
Maybe this is a developer question but how does GC know what account to put
the transactions into?
Which brings me back to a question I asked previously about resetting the
OFX import to GC account mapping.
...
I have one possible workaround that I have used (albeit with version
2.6) to change the OFX-to-gnucash-account mapping in situation like
that: First, create a backup of your gnucash file, just in case. Then
create a temporary account, call it "placeholder". Give it properties
just like the old VISA account that is unfortunately getting all your
new transactions. Then on the VISA account, click to Delete Account.
Gnucash will then ask you if you want to move the transactions into
some other account instead of losing them. Go ahead and move them to
the "placeholder" account and allow it to delete the (empty) visa
account. Now rename "placeholder" to be "VISA".
After all those gymnastics, you are pretty much back where you
started, i.e. should still have your old VISA data just as it was
before. But next time you import OFX transactions, they won't go to
VISA: instead gnucash will ask the (one time) questions about where
they should go, and it sets up a new mapping accordingly.

When I transferred over to GnuCash from Quicken a number of years ago, after
first toying with the import directions/options, I opted to use the "6-pack"
method...
I bought several 6-packs of Stella, picked how many years I wanted to go
back to be reflected in GnuCash, and entered each and transaction manually.
Doubt I'd do anything different in 2019.

Well, you haven't told us which OS you're using, so that makes it kind
of hard to advise you on details of setting permissions.

Would you care to specify WHERE you saw that statement you claim is from
me?
And I believe we are talking about VERY different issues. As I have
pointed out, not MY problem since all the organizations for which I keep
books have such low volume I do not download bank statements and try to
get that data into gnucash. I am simply entering the few transactions
that exist from the credit card statement <<typically I don't KNOW about
the transaction until I see the statement -- if not clear from the
vendor, may have to email the person with a "what was that for?" in
order to properly classify the expense >> OBVIOUSLY if manually entering
transactions no limitations from gnucash.
Please refer back to what was originally asked (not by me)

Perhaps my interpretation of your phrase "significant issue" as "cannot do

Yes, I understand... And this is exactly what "Card" is meant for.
Employee Expenses charged back as "Card" are not reimbursed to the
employee; they are "charged" to the corporate card, which the business
pays directly.

This is true. I don't know of a way around that at the moment. I suppose
one could suggest an RFE for a hover-over popup of full account (or
subaccount name)? Always displaying the account would be unimportant for
most of the use-cases of reconciling subaccounts, I think.

Hi,
?????? I am having a problem with transaction associations. I am using
Gnucash 3.7 on a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro laptop.?? I am trying to import an
OFX file that contains stock cash dividends.?? I seemed to have messed
something up early on because all the dividends get imported directly
into the individual stock accounts instead of the upper level brokerage
account.?? When I try to pull up the "Transaction Associations" from the
gnucash "Tools" menu, all I get is a blank window.?? I tried changing the
"Path Head" in preferences but I still get a blank window.?? I also tried
deleting entries using the "Import Map Editor" from the "Tools" menu but
that didn't seem to have any effect.?? I finally uninstalled the program,
wiped all the remnants that I could find, then reinstalled.?? That also
had no effect.
?????? If any has any hints to offer so I can change the transaction
associations I would be grateful.
