Re: [GNC] ASX quotes not working

I've examined the Perl Finance::Quote ASX.pm module used by GnuCash to fetch price data from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and can confirm that this problem is caused by an upgrade to the ASX web site: "Please note that the ASX beta site is a test website and is still undergoing

Mervyn, That indicates that the dll is either not installed in that location or the installed version in that location does not contain the required function. It may help if you specify your Windows version, and how GnuCash was installed ( downloaded setup.exe, flatpack or similar). A possibe

Re: [GNC] Entry point not found

Hi Mervyn, I'm guessing you're on Windows judging by the "Program Files(x86)" - is it Win 7 or 10 ? What version of Gnucash were you running before this started happening and what version are you trying to upgrade to? If you google "procedure entry point inflateValidate could not be located in

I am a new user trying to run GnuCash 4.2 on a Mac PowerBook running MacOS 10.15.7. I did manage to get it running briefly, put my chart of accounts in manually and then tried to instal OSF using the OSF installation tool. I succeeded only in corrupting the file. I I wiped all GnuCash files from

Upgrading is only supported between minor, and between consecutive major versions. Thus 2.6.x > 4.x is *not* supported. Be careful, maybe you got lucky, maybe you didn't and just don't find an issue yet. It is also recommended to run Action > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All after

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 3.x and 4.x compatibility

The Debian maintainer released GnuCash 4.2 recently, and if you don't see a "backported" version for your version of Debian you might be able to backport it yourself fairly easily. OR install the Flatpak version. The only downsides I've run into with Flatpak are: 1) You lose the ability to print

Re: [GNC] Data Entry Overload - Create Bill + Post Bill + Pay Bill vs just Pay Bill?

Hello Greg, I encountered this exact same problem. The way bills are entered just does not scale for someone doing more than home entry, or doing it because they love it. 50 mouse clicks to record buying a Mars bar just isn't viable if you have more than a Mars bar a week. I have a small

Re: [GNC] ASX quotes not working

Here we go again The ASX released a major overhaul of their web site a couple of days ago, and I suspect this has broken the screen scraping logic in the (Perl) Finance Quote ASX.pm module. Screens and URLs have both been changed. For example, this (old style) URL:
