HI, You can simplify this by just doing: File -> Export -> Export Accounts and then File -> Open the new file. There is no need to go into CSV format if you're importing it back into GnuCash.
Note that this *ONLY* exports the account tree; if you have business objects (customers/vendors/taxtables) they will NOT be exported into the new data file. -derek On Wed, October 28, 2020 5:49 am, Eric Coates via gnucash-user wrote: > Hi > > If you've done a lot of work setting up various accounts and you want to > preserve that work the following is a way of doing that: > > File > Export > Export Account Tree to CSV > Progress through the various stages (be sure to remember the file name and > its location) > > File > New File > Progress through the stages making the necessary choices.
