Hi,

I am just beginning with GNUcash having spent many years using Microsoft
Money. I decided for once to follow the tutorial before starting in earnest.
I am finding it difficult to follow in particular ' Features of the account
register. The descriptions appear not to match the screenshot. E.g. Account
name is not Assets:Checking: There is no transfer column.... and it goes on.
Please tell me is this an error or am I just misunderstanding.

It is vital for me as if I can't get the simple things right what chance
have I when it gets complex.

As a general point I find the loose use of the word 'account' also quite
confusing not helped by the helpful tip that tells me that for erstwhile
users of Quicken (and presumably Money)that 'account' is the same as
'category'

 

Please pass this on to the relevant person if it is not in your area.

Kind Regards and thanks

Peter Thompson
