The tree of accounts is opened automatically when GN is started.
The checking account book is openened by double clicking the corresponding
line in the tree of accounts or by clicking the ´open icon´. Same results.

What happens if you try to Find Transactions under the Actions menu?


When I click ´actions\online actions\get transactions´ nothing happens.

Basically you are right so please give me a bit guidance.  I was repeatedly
trialling almost all settings and combinations for days and nights.

I double checked this but found same results.
In menu \File\properties ..the date format is on ´locale´. (16-05-07 as
example)
In menu \Edit\Preferences the accounting period is set from 01-01-05 to
31-12-05.
In menu \Edit\filtering the period is set as ´view all´ and/or ´view 1-1-05
till 31-12-05 (same results)

Which of the many sceendumps do you need???  I will be happy to send  all
you need but GC is more than huge.
