OK, thanks. You may remember (with a wince?) a long series of messages a while back that I had 'cos I had more than one location for the G files. It was sorted, by a kind person. However, somewhere along the line the balance got screwed up, so I created a subfile with the 2024 addition and

It's pretty easy to figure out which register is which... just make the date column extra wide in the GUI and it will correspond with "date_width=###" (or do it the other way around). I also like to have the same column widths throughout for uniformity as well as muscle memory on locations on the

I'm pretty sure this is already filed as a bug or RFE. GnuCash doesn't auto-add new accounts when you have generic top-level accounts selected for a report when using saved configurations. You have to edit the account selection to include the new accounts then update your saved

I recall that file fiasco. I'm glad you finally got it sorted! Any time you are starting over completely, you will not get auto-fill suggestions until you have transactions that match in the register already. Note, this is true between accounts even without starting over. If you use one

Signs in Budgets need more testing. (I had plans to do so long ago, perhaps I might get to it now as I'm way behind in my own budgeting!) You might have to play around a bit to see if it is possible to come up with a sane entry method that produces a sane bottom line result. Or you may have

Have you tried opening the (other) desired book directly via command line? It may be the book you are attempting to switch to has an issue, and not saving the current one. Also, since it is prompting you to save, that tells me something was edited without a save. Perhaps manually save, then

If this is on Windows, it is a known bug that is being worked on. (the bug isn't in GnuCash, but software that GnuCash uses to display reports) Other reports may fail and crash as well. For now, the recommendation is to revert back to 5.4 Regards, Adrien On 1/10/24 4:29 PM, Maria Inmaculada
