Re: [GNC] GNUCash fails to start on Windows 10 after windows update
Hello everyone, I have the same issue that GnuCash won't start for me anymore after receiving a Windows update. It does not work on one of my devices anymore (Windows Version 10.0.17763.195) [I even tried reinstalling Windows on that device] but still works fine on my other (Windows Version 10.0.17763.134). Did you resolve this somehow yet?

Thanks for that clarification, though I was also unclear on exactly what the OP is asking for, which was to zero all the accounts for the new year. I thought she meant that she wanted to start from a completely empty account file (the technique for which is described in the wiki link posted, along with the technique to just zero the income and expenses accounts). You could be right though, perhaps the Close Books feature built into the s/w does what she wants.

[GNC] Getting online Mutual Fund with gnucash
I am having a strange issue with getting online quotes for mutual funds.
Everything appears to be setup correctly since it works correctly for
stocks. However, of the 14 mutual funds I have (most are vanguard funds),
I get a quote for one and only one vanguard mutual find. I get a pop
up window saying "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:" and a list
of all my other mutual funds. I double checked the configuration for the
one that works and one that does not work. They are the same.
I didn't get any errors when checking with gnc-gq-helper. The output from
gnc-gq-helper on one of the MFs that do not work is:
(alphavantage "VSMAX")
(("VSMAX" (symbol . "VSMAX") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2018-12-21 12:00:00")
(last . 60.7300) (currency . "USD")))
The various versions of the software I am using:
Distribution: Slackware 14.2
gnucash: 3.3
perl: 5.22
Finace::Quote - 1.47

That’s most likely due to Alphavantage throttling. You can either install
Finance::Quote from git (takes a bit of perl innards knowledge) or switch
everything you can to yahoo-json.

[GNC] Receivable Interest Amount
Hello, I have been using GnuCash for almost 7 years now managing my personal finances. I am in no way a professional & I only have a basic understanding of accounting. So, I have lent some of my money to a business (say XYZ) & to an agreed upon simple interest paid on a monthly basis. Principal amount stays constant. The interest payments go on until I request the principal amount be paid back to me. And I do record the transactions when the money is received. But the money is never received on the agreed upon date (1st of every month), so the interest amount which is due accumulates. I have a good understanding of how much money in the form of interest I have received (in GnuCash). All I need is the total amount due. The accounts I have for this are Assets:XYZ (The principal amount) Assets:Bank (Mode which gave the principal amount & receives interest) Income:Interest Income:XYZ Let's assume: Principal Amount: $2000 Rate of Interest: 2%/month Interest amount per month: $40 I can add an automatic schedule to an account, not sure to which account I should be doing that. As the interest due must reduce after I record a payment transaction. Right now, the interest amount is generated in "Income:Interest Income:XYZ" goes into either bank or cash. Your help is much appreciated. And I apologize if there is a similar question out there in the forums, I did try my best for a solution & didn't find it.

Re: [GNC] Receivable Interest Amount
Narender, The transaction you need to schedule using the scheduled transaction assistant is as follows: Asset:Bank Db $40 Income:Interest:XYZ Cr $40 There is no change to the Asset:XYZ until you receive payments off the principal.
