I use a home made spreadsheet to track lots if I really need to for tax

Hi David,
That wasn't Mark. I was trying to duplicate what he had done first on my Linux
Box and then on a Windows10 box. I didn't
close the first before opening the second and didn't reopen the register after
changing the register preferences in the
first case.

Since Mark had the same file open simultaneously on two machines, the
first machine probably lost its work when the second machine closed the
file.
If one or both are still crashing, he should try to find the trace file as
descibed in the gnucash wiki and paste it or part of it into a new message

Updated to 3.6 on the Windows 10 box and with the same preference setting the
behavior is as expected and the same as for 3.5 and no crashing. Now we need

I think you're confusing View>Double Line with View>Basic/Autosplit/Transaction

the Notes field. It also shows the contents of the Split Action field from the

DRIPS certainly won't make life easy for this sort of exercise.

Your description of the process you are using doesn't sound correct to me.

That worked! I renamed the data file and "saved as", then closed on my
desktop. I then opened the same file from Dropbox on my laptop and
accessed ok from both computers with no problems now. (closed file on
computer before opening on other of course).
Thanks so much for your help!

I'm in double-line view on a checking ledger.
I enter the date, description, and amount. Then I click split.
I enter the amount for one of the split items, and click to choose an account.
GnuCash completely stops and closes with no information. This is reproducable.
I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.6
Hi,
GnuCash will re-open the last file you used. So that's not a problem.
But yes, it sounds like this started as a backup file. So long as you
haven't noticed any data loss, then you can go from there. I would
recommend that you File -> Save As and then change the name to the base

Thanks!
MYM, unfortunately, does not rigidly enforce the double entry aspects of
financial recording. As a for instance, 401(k) contributions from my
paycheck would not automatically transfer to the account; I've had to
manually adjust the cash balance of the investment to record the
contribution
How did you handle your investments? I can see starting afresh with
standard transactions, but investments can live and have records for
decades (capital gains/losses, etc.).

Welcome to GnuCash!
I found the user group called "MYM users" on Facebook and the forum on
