Thanks, Derek. I will have to read up on how to work subversion. Then I will run diff for the second time ever. In the mean time, you have the complete code and the knowledge to fix the crash problem. Ah, but the time? At least I have solved my own little problem about editing gnucash invoice titles and column names. I'll get back to you after I RTFM and do a few test crashes. Your test crash dummy, Bryan
