Check the Account type of the parent of the account you are trying to change to stock. It should be in the Asset subtree and should be of *type* Asset. If not you won't get the correct choices for the account type. In the dropdown list Stock is a fairway down so you may have to scroll to reach it.

Here's my 20 cents on this topic (and I am not an accountant): If the security changed currency, it should be treated as a corporate event, and set up as a new security. The balance of the original security should be set to zero, and you can twiddle the exchange rates to record any gains or l

The system check number incrementation feature may only work correctly if the focus is in the checking account register when the number is entered. Thus it may or may not recognize numbers that are added from the Since Last Run assistant. I know it does not recognize numbers in the check register

What OS are you using? It makes a difference where you find them. For the down loading if your OS is Linux you can easily copy the files to another computer using ssh.  That's what I do to back my data files and config files from my Mac to my Linux laptop. On 4/11/21 12:33 PM, Jose A. Lorido
