Thanks for the info; I have no inclination to get morassed in coding
the program. I do enough of that in the open source Xoops CMS world.
(in fact I'm writing a simple accounting module called SACC amongst
other things.)
Having recently upgraded to 1.8 I was hoping that the business
functionality might be a bit more useful. Obviously I am to be let down
on this occasion.
It strikes me that perhaps the developers are not versed in simple (and
I do mean simple) business accounting. Hard coding a financial year end
is absurd. There appears to be some big holes in the business
functionality (the vendor/customer/ selection process is extraordinary
for instance [no one heard of type-ahead?], no bulk post etc etc.) But
hey ho, I can always go and use Sage I suppose. Shame really as I've
been using gnucash for a couple of years.
Regards
Ashley
