Thank you. It was not obvious to me. It worked anytime on the old 
version of gnucash I was using so I never thought about that.

This morning, when I was more alert, I made a test gnucash setup as 
myself (I had  been working as another user) from scratch, and it would 
not save either until I *changed something*. I assume that will fix the 
real accounts too.
