I have no experience with GnuCash, other than wanting to use an open source accounting and billing program. Has anyone had success with modifying the invoices to conform to the needs of attorneys? In its most basic form, it would require the ability to provide descriptions of up to 50 words, the

Dear Derek, OK. I tried to crash the program as I previously described using the 2.2.1 latest stable gnucash for Debian Sid. Plus, I tried with an open invoice. IT WILL NOT CRASH. Maybe I fixed the problem by properly localising the Total ex Tax code with those mystery underscore thingies. Maybe i

I suppose one way to avert disaster is to give the files new names and add them to business-reports.scm But this seems to be a cluttered approach. B On 10/1/07, Bryan Cebuliak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It is important to know why this happened to avert mass disaster on > upgrading to the new *
