I get thoroughly confused when I see all four words debit, credit, deposit and withdrawal in the same sentence. Are you really copying from and pasting to the same account? If so, why not just use the duplicate function. If not, is the target account the same type as the source? Oh, which ver

You may also want to verify that the MySQL server is set to accept connections from your GnuCash machine. Dan On August 18, 2022 7:19:04 PM John Ralls wrote: On Aug 17, 2022, at 10:35 PM, Christian Schrautzer via gnucash-user wrote: Dear gnucash-user, I am trying to save in my mysql
