Narberth, That message means that GnuCash did not find and open an existing data file so it is expecting you to create a new one. Thus Derek's answer. On Wed, Aug 31, 2022, 7:11 AM Derek Atkins wrote: > Just create a new file: > > File -> New File > > -derek > > On Wed, August 31, 2022 6:53 a

I'm surprised that people don't buy ($$$) a book (see below) that gives them a good introduction to accounting, or even find a good tutorial online (no $$$), & instead go to a mailing list intended for the support of free (no $$$) SOFTWARE (not accounting), & then expect other people to teach t

Phyllis, There is no 'list' of topics to choose from. All messages are simply e-mail that go through the mailing list server. If you have turned off digest mode, then you'll get a new e-mail every time someone starts a new topic or replies to an existing topic. Some days, it is rather quiet,

They remain forever. (There was a decent explanation as to why recently on IRC - the short of it is that deleting them cleanly is simply too messy with the current code.) My workflow in such cases is to change their ID to 'use next'. You can either create a dummy vendor/customer for them as we
