Along with the idea of exporting your present book via CSV, when you get back the file from the accountant, export that book as CSV too. Then do a diff on the CSV files. Those should be less messy to read than the XML. You could then take the diff results as a CSV and import them. Regards,

There are security improvements due to more memory address space with 64-bit. Most (but not all) programs also run faster. Also maintaining both would be additional workload for the GC team that can be used for other more productive tasks. On Fri, Jan 19, 2024 at 3:52 PM David Carlson wrote: >

I was extending to 2023 changes. For example, if Simon made some insignificant change to 2023, let's say a memo (debits = credits = none = memo only) that he believed was important, but this does not change the financial condition of 2023 (or something else that is so insignificant that he can

Assuming that the info sent to the accountants ended at 12/31/2023, Simon could export all 2024 transactions in CSV format as you suggested. He could then import into the returned files from the accountants and he wouldn't have to track any changes he made. The log files are another option,

You need not depend on comparing the account balances by eye. Export both reports in HTML, which is a text format (as opposed to binary), and then use a diff utility or comparison program. In Windows, I have been using the free CSDIFF for many years. The company that provided it doesn't seem to

However, I think there were later, technically 64-bit processors that did not include a few required 64-bit instructions (eg, "Compare and Swap"), so that Win-64 would not install on them. I think the original Intel & Lenovo "compute sticks" fell into that category, circa 2015? A trip down

Just make sure that after you save a copy (B4A) that you aren't using that file going forward as GC usually opens the last saved file. Unless you have "told" gnucash not to. Those of us who are keeping multiple sets of books (f0r multiple entities) can make like easier by using the

The quick and dirty solution is to save a copy of what you send to the accounts, under a different name (say: B4A) and when you get back the file from the accountants review the accounts tab of the B4A with the returned file. That will tell you which accounts have a change in value. You can
