Inflation is indeed a problem... Part of the problem is that different countries have considerably different ways to handle accounting for inflation. For the most part, the attempts have largely been failures, and the parts of the world that don't have currencies suffering from "hyperinflation" largely pretend it's not there, as the accounting methods proposed don't turn out terribly well. It is quite typical for an "inflation index" to be called a "Consumer Price Index;" that's certainly not unique to Israel. If y'all are having to cope with "hyperinflation," it's pretty certain that: a) GnuCash lacks the explicit tools to deal with that, and b) You'll not see terribly many alternatives that /do/ have good tools. The challenge is that it is likely that nobody that has done development on GnuCash has been interested in providing support for reports that are CPI-adjusted. It's certainly not critical in countries where inflation rates are relatively low... -- (concatenate 'string "aa454" "@freenet.carleton.ca") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/linuxdistributions.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #150.
