Re: [GNC] gnu-fq-check missing
Neither the quick fix nor a more involved attempt worked. Boost::process is a bit opaque but what it's telling us is that somewhere it wants codecvt to convert some string from char to wchar_t. I'm having difficulty figuring out where.

[GNC] Tax schedule report outputting entries outside of selected date range
I'm trying to generate a tax report (federal 1040) for entry into my tax software, as I do every year and have never ran into this issue. Not sure of the version of GNC I'm running on Windows 10. Running Version 4.13 Build ID: Flathub 4.13 Finance Quote: 1.5301 under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Both versions are including a transaction from 07/02/2020 when the date range for the report is 01/01/2022 to 12/31/2022. The transaction of concern is listed as "Tax Report Only - No TXF Export". I have limited internet access right now so I can not confirm that this is a known bug. My concern is that the report may also be skipping transactions from 2022. I have exported the report as a pdf file with no options selected other than the time frame, and the transaction shows up there as well. If I edit the options to suppress $0, no printing of full account names/action:memo data/transaction detail, and print TXF export parameters, the errant transaction shows up. Any ideas why? --Jeffrey Black M.B.A. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
Thanks to Vincent Dawans, David H, David T and David Carlson for the answer to my problem. I have now fixed it. I have to say I did a search in the gnucash-help.pdf file without finding anything other than changing column widths in invoices.

[GNC] Please help
I am totally fed up with Quickbooks so I spent some time investigating other options. I really liked what I saw with GNUCash, so I downloaded and installed it. I spent ALL day yesterday inputting all my 2023 transactions for 2 bank accounts and 3 credit cards. I try to open the program today and I get a message about GNUCash not being able to get a lock on the file. I know it was not in use because I had just booted up the laptop, so I clicked open anyway. All my work from yesterday is gone. Nothing. Can someone please help. This is very discouraging.

Re: [GNC] Please help
Can you try opening up a file browser (File Explorer on windows, Files on macos, etc.) in the directory you have your gnucash accounting file in and see if there's a .LCK file prepended with the name of your accounting file? You could try: - closing gnucash (make sure all windows of it are closed) - deleting the LCK file - re-opening gnucash. P.S. For anyone else migrating from quickbooks, I'm working on an improved script + better instructions for migration based on the LWN 'Escape from Quickbooks' article, though it's still going to be a rather technical process for now.

Re: [GNC] Please help
Your work is unlikely to be gone. By default (unless you changed it) there is a preference set to periodically save the file. The lock file issue is because either GnuCash crashed, or you shut down the computer without closing the app first. Open the app, (choose 'open anyway' if you like, but as you noted, there was nothing there) then go to File > Open and then navigate to your file. GnuCash *should* remember the last file used, but if something goes awry and it does not, then you can simply point it back to the proper file. If you are on a Mac, you *cannot* open a file by double-clicking it. You have to open the app first, then use File > Open. While double-clicking should work on Windows & Linux, in this case, I'd say it is safer to use File > Open.
