Hi John,
I'm pretty sure there is no secret list of all the gnucash data files you've

I don't understand what you mean by "top-level account" and "one account

Two ideas:

column may include several budget periods. Please let us know the report

You could use your file manager search function to look for *.gnucash files.

As noted in the Tutorial, the opening balance in a reconciliation is

The Tutorial explains some of the circumstances that might cause an opening

Place the following in the Embedded CSS section of the Notes tab under the

This will change the font on the entire invoice. It should then render the INR
