[GNC] Can't complete "To-Create" scheduled transaction in "Since Last Run"

[rsbrux via gnucash-user]

I have a scheduled transaction involving two currencies: a charge in EUR 
which is charged to  a CHF credit card.


This has worked in the past.

When the "Since Last Run" dialog appears, it lists this transaction 
under "To-Create" and shows:

EUR <-> CHF    (Need value)

When I click on "(Need value)", it turns into what appears to be a text 
edit field, where I usually enter an exchange rate.


However, today, no value was accepted, leaving me unable to close the 
"Since Last Run" dialog with "OK".


I couldn't find any relevant information in the online 
 help in 
the included help or on the wiki 
.


How is this supposed to work?

The exchange rate is one of those which is automatically updated each 
time the computer starts.


Why can't GnuCash simply use the most recent exchange rate from the 
Price Database?


BTW, the included help  has a self-reference in the topic "Since Last 
Run Assistant": the link "Scheduled Transactions " 
links back to the same topic.


According to KDE Discover, I am running GnuCash 4.13+ released on 
2022-12-17 as a flatpak under Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS.


Running:

>>

flatpak run --command=sh org.gnucash.GnuCash
[ org.gnucash.GnuCash ~]$ gnucash --version << as documented on the 
wiki  produces: >> GnuCash 4.13 
Build ID: Flathub 4.13 <<

Re: [GNC] Using Plaid

This is interesting.

https://www.plaidsettlement.com/

This prompted me to look at a Quicken OFX log after downloading
investment transactions from Raymond James. That log stays traffic
comes from 

https://directconnect.rjf.com/eftxweb/access.ofx

but the traffic really comes from

https://services.quicken.com/ofx-secure-plus

Third parties collecting your bank credentials and sniffing your
financial traffic, what can go wrong?

Re: [GNC] Using Plaid

[Jean L]

And now, vanguard apparently no longer offers OFX as a download option, 
just csv files. >:(

hopefully this is temporary, but I'm not holding my breath.

The entire download-you-data landscape for finances in the US is just broken

GIving Plaid2QIF this token is no different than me giving a

don't
like having an intermediary, in this case Plaid and Plaid2QIF, but
OFX is

Neither. See

Pay particular attention to the disclaimer at the bottom of that
page.

[GNC] Looking for setup and/or bookkeeping help

[Bob Treumann]

Are there any accountants or bookkeepers who specialize in gnucash?
Or other power users who would help me out?I would expect to pay.

I have my small business ( S-Corp ) gnucash account set up in a cloud
database so the person could work remotely, either to get me started or to
do the bookkeeping and taxes including payroll taxes.

[GNC] File locked ?

[TimR via gnucash-user]

I am a new user having just switched to GnuCash by importing from a Quicken
QIF file. All seemed to be going well for several sessions. Today in trying
to open Gnucash I have received the following error message:

"GnuCash could not obtain the lock for D:\Raymond.Current.gnucash."

How do I solve this?

Check that you have not got another copy of Gnucash open with your
database and then select "Open Anyway".

Re: [GNC] File locked ?

[David Cousens]

Tim,

Go to the directory your data file is located in. There should be a file with
the same name as the data file but with a".LCK" file extension. If there is if
you delete it you should be able to open the main daya file. The other
possibility is that your username does not have the permissions necessary to
open the file in that location, particularly if you have it in a location which
can be opened by multiple user's. If another user has previously opened the file
you may have to login as that user to delete thelogfile (or as an
administrator). The ".LCK" file is to prevent the data file being opened 
simulataneously by more than a single user.

Re: [GNC] File locked ?

[Derek Atkins]

are you sure another GnuCash isn't running? If you are sure then Open anyways
Generally this happens because GnuCash was not shut down cleanly.  Either 
that or there is a permission problem.
