Re: [GNC] install 2nd app to start over

2023-02-03 Thread David T. via gnucash-user
The reference to the "terminal" suggests a Mac, but I'll defer to PH.

PH, it's not clear why you think configuring a transaction report would require 
any coding; most reports have extensive options to select specific transactions 
and accounts, so it's really necessary for you to describe what it is that is 
not happening.

I will note that the standard Transaction Report opens without any data 
initially, and that you must open Options and select accounts to include 
subsequently. But that doesn't involve coding or the terminal; is just clicking 
the Options button on the ribbon and selecting things. 

This is covered in the Tutorial and the Help.

i'm having a lot of trouble with creating transaction reports. and the
solutions seem to involve going into terminal and getting code to identify
a bug. to do this i'll have to take my laptop to a computer shop or find
someone who can help me. i have not done this as i've been so busy, so i'm
looking for an easier way for me to work around my problem

yesterday i tried to create a transaction report, clicked on options and it
just ignored me. other issues involve not being able to scroll down the
whole list past page 1, etc.

Re: [GNC] install 2nd app to start over

2023-02-03 Thread Phyllis Bruce
Well, if it sounds reasonable.  Installing a newer version will retain your
records and may solve the issue.  I'm assuming you've gone to the help
files to learn how to create the transaction reports.  They are not
necessarily intuitive and may draw from different settings.  Just be sure
to back everything up first.  I don't know how long you've been using
gnucash or what platform you have, but I also don't know if that would make
a difference in this case.  Just DO back everything up.  (Says the gal who
has been using Gnucash for 5 months.)

Why don't you just start another gnucash file?  Name it something different
and take it from there.

[GNC] install 2nd app to start over

2023-02-02 Thread ph hermes
hi everyone

i've been struggling with my transaction reports and can't easily figure
out how to fix things, so i thought i could install gnu cash again and
simply start over (probably a good idea anyway as it's been years on the
old file). it's a year when i feel many things could bear with a fresh
start.

can i just install it again? do i need to change the name when downloading/
saving (ie gnucash-2) etc for latest version?

any tips?

thanks.
