In fact, the transactions in foreign currency were not "translated" into the local currency in the report, and therefore Gnuc

Hi, You should probably start by uprading to a newer version of gnucash. 2.6.1 has known issues attempting to report on large data sets. It is unfortunate Ubuntu 14.04 is tied to version 2.6.1. You may get a newer one via the getdeb repository. Regards, Geert On Wed, Jun 7, 2017 at 12:34 PM,

Thanks Derek, Maf and others who replied. I think I have it sussed. I saved my files (old PC) to USB stick, read them on the new PC and saved them to a selected location. All looks good now (and I don't think I have destroyed any apps). I'm grateful and will donate to your good work. Edwin -

Hi Edwin. You failed to transfer your data. The GnuCash data file DOES NOT live under Program Files. As for where it DOES live -- that very much depends on where you told GnuCash to save t. Usually it would be in your Home Folder or in your My Documents folder. But Gnucash will let you save it

The file with all your financial data on it is just a normal file. If you open GnuCash on your old computer and go to File -> Save as... the dialog which opens should show you the whereabouts of the file you currently have open, which is the file where your financial data resides. Save this f

Hi Edwin. Suggest that you firstly don't try and copy a program from one PC to the other by dragging the Program folder around. You should download & install GC from scratch on the new PC. As previously alluded, your GC data file(s) SHOULD not be in Program Files, but somewhere in your user

Hi, You can find the file from within GC on the old PC (you haven't mentioned an OS) - if there's no file extension are you on a linux distro? File -> Save As will give you a pointer to the correct path to find your data file. In fact, while you are in File -> Save As... you might as well jus
