GNU Cash Forecasting Query

[Geert Janssens]

Dear Michelle,

I'm glad to hear you are pleased to have found GnuCash.

However, all questions concerning GnuCash should be asked on the proper 
mailing lists instead of directly to me. There are many people there 
that are glad to offer advice.

I have forwarded your mail to gnucash-user at gnucash.org which is the 
proper mailinglist for such question.

Please continue use that list for further questions. More information on 
the GnuCash mailing lists in general can be found here:
