Hello,
Here is what I want to accomplish.
1. Create a new gnucash file with the same accounts as an old one but no
transactions from the old one.
2. Copy the transactions from a single account from the old gnu cash
file to the new one.
I can accomplish 1. by exporting the account tree from the old one to a
csv file and then importing the csv file to the new one.
There is an even easier way: File -> Export -> Export Accounts
This will create a new data file with just the account tree, so all you
need to do is File -> Open the "exported" file.
I tried to accomplish 2. by exporting the transactions from the desired
account on the old file to a csv file and then import the csv to the the
new file. I can export the transactions but no amount of fiddling or
trying options allows me to successfully import the csv file.
What version of GnuCash? I *THOUGHT* that we fixed the issue where
exported data could not be imported.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe Hesse

I all of a sudden am having a problem with creating a new data file with
just the account tree.
I created a new user on my linux system and copied my data file to a
folder in the new user's account and set the file permissions correctly.
I then opened the copied data file and did "File -> Export -> Export
Accounts".
When I tried to open the exported data file I got the error message "No
suitable backend was found"
I am using gnucash version 4.12 on Fedora 36 linux.
Thank you,
Joe
