What I don't like about gnucash, and admittedly it's because I really don't=
=20
know how to use it, but I realy wanted to use financial something! for my=20
finances.
Anyway, if I click on my income account, type in a description, then add $3=
00=20
to the income field, it gives me a window saying:
"The current transaction is not balanced.
[ ] Balance it manually
[ ] Let GnuCash add an adjusting split
[x] Adjust current account split total "
If I select the "adjust current account split total" everything disappears.=
It=20
still shows the transaction, but no money involved. If I select the "Let=20
GnuCash add an adjusting split" the same thing happens. If I select Balance=
=20
it manually, I get a whole bunch of negatives everywhere and nothing makes=
=20
sense.
I'm running version 1.6.8
I also have 1.4 (not installed) and that one works grand, but I wanted all =
the=20
new flashy things, and it's not working for me!! lol
Am I doing something horribly wrong or what?
