Hi Herb,

If you have created an invoice for test purposes, the data object can't be 
deleted out of the gnucash datafile (at least, not without hacking about in 
the file manually, and do that at your peril!).  Think in terms of tearing a 
page out of an old-style invoice book, but never actually filling it in or 
sending it - the page doesn't cease to exist just because you didn't fill it 
out and put the carbon copy in your sales ledger.

What you can do, though, is find it (through Business->Customer->Find Invoice 
[search for unposted invoices]) then assign it to a different customer (or 
same customer but new invoice number/date etc). Then fill out the invoice 
lines as required and finally post it back into the A/R account.  Think of it 
as picking up that blank page and finally using it!

Can't help with this one, though.

HTH,
