Re: [GNC] Using GnuCash as an Accounting Tutor
I had zero knowledge of accounting when I came across GnuCash. (I used to note down transactions and balances in a notebook.) I was skeptical about whether I could use a double-entry software package like GnuCash. I then came across a document titled "GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide". I found that it beautifully explained everything I needed to start using GnuCash. This was 2009, and I've never looked back.

Re: [GNC] Failed - import of QIF files from Quicken
Hi Ron, One thing you could try for troubleshooting purposes is to restrict the import to a narrow date range (say, a day) to reduce the number of transactions. Recently, I was struggling with QIF import failure from Gnucash Android. I was presented with a date format selection, and after I selected what I thought was the right format, the import suddenly quit without any warning or message. After reading up on the import process, I opened the QIF file with a text editor. I found the date format used was different from the one I'd assumed. Since then, the sun has been shining and the birds have been singing. Good luck to you on solving your problem. I have Gnucash 2.6.6 running on Windows 10.
