[GNC] Trouble installing Strawberry perl
I am trying to install Perl with the script in the GnuCash program folder in Windows 10. I accidentally forgot to use administrator rights the first time, repeated with rights, but it fails with error Input error: Could not find script file "C:\Windows\system32\getperl.vbs". I also found that the https://strawberryperl ... download page is inaccessible, one needs to use a different route to download strawberry Perl 5.32.1.1 32 or 64 .msi. Can someone help me get out of this rabbit hole? ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

David, Seems like the StrawberryPerl web page is back up, suggest you give it another shot. Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing Strawberry perl
Thank you David. I tried the Install online price retrieval for GnuCash script again and it still gives the error about the missing .vbs file. Do you know how that file is supposed to be created?

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing Strawberry perl
Nope, just rebooted into Win 10 Pro to have a look as I've got SB perl installed there and I don't have that file either. May be temporary during installation,suggest you check under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and see if it thinks it's partially installed? If so, remove and start again... Cheers David H. On Mon, 1 Nov 2021 at 05:49, David Carlson wrote: > Thank you David.

[GNC] Invoices' internal note is not reported in ledger
Hi, I have noticed invoices internal notes are not reported in the general ledger (showed on 2 lines). It seems is not possible to insert a note in the ledger for transactions generated by invoices/bills, and this makes it impossible to generate a filtered view using notes as a tag or similar. I can insert notes (shown in the ledger) for any other transaction. Is there something I'm missing? ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

When you post the invoice you can assign a memo, but no, there is no way to affect the Transaction->Note from an Invoice. The Invoice Notes are specifically for the invoice, not for the CoA Data. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing Strawberry perl
Hi David Carlson The "getperl.vbs" script is a GnuCash file, not Strawberry: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows/blob/master/extra_dist/getperl.vbs I am running GnuCash v4.8 on Windows 10 and it is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\ However, I recommend that you: (1) Install Strawberry Perl directly from https://strawberryperl.com/ and not via GnuCash. (2) Reboot. (3) Confirm that Perl is working: (3a) Command prompt (3b) perl -v (4) Install Finance-Quote from GnuCash, which uses the "gnc-fq-update" Perl script also located in C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\ Hope this helps.

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing Strawberry perl
After the manual installation following Geoff's suggestions I finally got to the point where GnuCash appeared to run FQ 1.51 and download today's prices ?? Then I noticed that this is still Sunday, which might explain why the latest saved prices are still from Friday. I guess I can move on to my next project.
