Hi Charles,
I shut down GnuCash, backed up a copy
of /usr/share/gnucash/scm/options.scm, copied your new file on top
of /usr/share/gnucash/scm/options.scm.
Next, I started GnuCAsh and doubled checked to make sure the accounting
period was still set to 10/1 through 9/30. Then I ran an Income
Statement. It still defaulted to 1/1/08 through the current date.
Any suggestions?
