Sorry, I apparently only replied to Ken in my initial response instead of to "Reply All".
Thank you all! I didn't think it was the setting "View>Filter By>{“Other” tab]>Show unused accounts" or "View->Filter By..->Other->Show Zero Total Accounts" as when it didn't seem to add the account, I tried again. On the second attempt, I did not get the error message that the account already existed. I did get that message after reinstalling the software, so you were right that may have been prt of the issue. I notice that even the subaccount indicator does not show up when the subaccounts are zero or not used. I appreciate all the suggestions and happy to be running again.

Turns out I wanted to stop seeing a bunch of zero value accounts and didn't make them "hidden", but instead unclicked the View->Filter By..->Other->Show Zero Total Accounts checkbox. Since new accounts have a zero balance, voila (or maybe un-voila?) they disappear as soon as they're created. What fun. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
