Hi, I have a similar problem with version 3.2 for windows.
I have set up a new company, but when I create a budget no accounts show up. Under the new book options tab there is a budget section which suppose to have a default budget. On my end this is empty, so no default budget is available. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the unavailability of budget accounts. Do you know how I can resolve this?

Puzzled, then. I just created a brand new account, without even an opening balance transaction so it has no entries, and a zero balance. When I did "New Budget" it showed up in the budget tree. I'm running version 2.6.19 on Ubuntu 18.04. What version & OS are you on? Perhaps there is behavior that has changed. -- *Jim Passmore*j...@passmore4.com On Sun, Jul 1, 2018 at 4:03 PM Erik Nesteruk < erik.neste...@camdencountyrotary.org> wrote: > Good thought, Jim, but I'm actually referring to the budget creation > itself.
