I enter them all the time. You do have to enter the / dividers. Like instead of 11418 you would have to enter 1/14/18 to get the date to come out right. --Rick Copple On Jan 14, 2018, at 12:15 AM, Trevor Richards <tr...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: I've been following the user group for years but still not started the move from 20yrs of MSmoney... all looks too hard with an MSM file with records back to 1997. I thought I could test the water with a new business and associated bank account that started in 2016.I've been managing this with a spreadsheet as very few transactions. So I set up a business set of accounts and tried entering manually, the historic records... I'm immediately stumped. It does not let me enter past dates. Clearly I'm going about this in the wrong way.Advice appreciated.Trevor _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
