Hi Norbert,
When you run GnuCash for the first time there is no existing file. If

to select a location on your hard disk in which to save the file and
give it a name. It is generally recommended that you create a

Is there a way to edit the Quicken/Quickbooks 3-part check layout? My

I haven't been able to locate the file that has that layout.

For me, MacOS (I’m on Sonoma 14.5) opens the file with the most recent version
of Gnucash. I’ve suffixed all my Gnucash versions with the version number
(Gnucash-5.6, etc.).
There is a user setting available by choosing “Get Info” on any data file that
allows one to “Open with:” and choose th
Have you ever reconciled this account before?
You cannot reconcile "back in time". I.e. once you reconcile to time T,
you have effectively reconciled from the beginning of time to time T.
What this means is that you cannot go back and later reconcile to a time
BEFORE T. Part of the reason is th

I run multiple versions of GnuCash by putting them on different computers.
This can be done either by using separate machines or by setting up one or

I don’t use the importer, but from reading the list responses, I seem to recall
that if you are using a single column for the amount, then deposits and
withdrawals should be of opposite sign. So for a bank import, if you choose
debits to be positive, then credits must be negative.

Hi Gerard,
A quick google brought me this link:

I had done this years ago when I had my business up and running (since retired
and abandoned QB) and it worked for me.
Hope this helps
Thanks for your quick reply. I did understand those options, and I blame TD for
their stupid CSV format, but I'd rather avoid writing a trivial preprocess
applet. For the record, if I did so the first approach I would try is simply
adding a negative sign to all the debit amounts.

I don't think two different version of GNUCash can exist on Windows machine
(install of new version will uninstall the previously installed one). However,
there is nothing that precludes you from going back one minor version if you
needed to. In that case, you just simply uninstall the latest ve
Sadly, you will have to do some pre-processing before import. Put minus sign
in front of debits or credits, depending upon how the book is setup. GNUCash
does not have a conditional way of importing data in CSV by looking at a
column. CSV files can be edited in any text editor.

Hi, Paul,
I have a TD Bank account, so I looked at the available options. If you
choose "Microsoft Money", that appears to result in an OFX download. I
usually choose "Intuit Quicken", because that results in a QFX download,
which GnuCash can import.

As an after-thought, put minus sign in front of lines with credits and
payments to minimize number of edits, and then adjust your amount column as
withdrawal (or credit based upon your books settings). The minus sign will
move the amount over to "deposit" side. Once you are satisfied how it

You also didn't specify whether you meant two versions both usable OR
simply leaving an old version available for a quick build back out.

Hello Gerard,
Yes, you can edit the check layout. The location of the file to edit
depends on the operating system you have. On my Windows installation it
is at C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks.
You can find instructions how to edit the coordinates of the objects
Yes, I see.
Interestingly, I realize I can use a simple search and replace for this.

When you click on File->Save As you should get a dialogue box opening.
On the right hand side of the dialogue is a small icon which looks like

Paul,
It has been my personal experience that importing double quotes can be
problematic for GNUCash, so I always remove all the double quotes during my
pre-processing of the data.
