Lots get activated on an account by account basis; in any given account,
you open the View Lots window and either create/assign lots manually or

lots. Over the years, I've opted to implement the lots on a substantial

New user questions follow, I'm afraid...

This took some getting used to when I moved from Quicken 7 years or so
ago. The categories become accounts. This is required for double entry
accounting and makes sense. When you pay your electric bill, money moves
from checking to the electric company. GNUCash has to show money movi
Scott -- Forgive me if I misinterpreted your request -- but if I am reading it

I do understand double-entry accounting and that it is the GnuCash paradigm.
What I didn't understand is that on the import GnuCash did create the
requisite checking account, plus all the expense accounts. I did not see
the checking account as it was lost in a sea of expense accounts.
Now that I'

An easy way to "move" many entries is to *delete* the offending account and
let GnuCash move it to another account.
Say you have utilities:water as an account but also utilities:Watercompany.
Then you simply delete one and ask GnuCash to move all transactions to the
other. All in one fell swoop.

Nope, sorry, you gents did not understand my question.
I don't have any unwanted accounts. Indeed, all of my categories in Quicken
were well thought out and organized, and well replicated as separate
expense accounts in GnuCash via the import process.
But with some 100 different, well organized a

If I understand correctly, what you expected was a chart of accounts with

Let's get this cleared up:
You're telling us that *all* of your expense accounts are *not* under
the top-level 'Expenses' account but exist as each their own top-level
account? (but maybe of 'type' Expense)
If so, that sounds like an error (I'll hazard, user) in the import.
The easiest thing
What you need to do is start a new file and position those expenses
correctly under the the top expense level during the import process. That
is not really very hard with a couple of expendable tries to see how it
works.

Adrien,
I don't know anything about the business features.
My statement regarding lot activation wasn't clear; you must open the Lot
Manager *AND* create lots-- either manually, or by using the scrub feature.

You have shrunk those columns down to nothing and very carefully need to

Hi, did you look in the "books" folder?
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books
Each book will have it's own .gcm file
In it, the columns will be something like this:

num_width=74
reconcile_width=239
balance_width=140
transfer_width=318
debit_width=140

The .gcm file is not, repeat not, the problem in this case. This is a new

the registry information under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/soft
