Michael, David, I finally tweaked what each of you recommended until I was
successful. The trick really was to click on the parent account first
(rather than "Select All") and then click on "Select Children". (And then
of course enter start and end dates, etc.) Thanks so much for your help.
The package for my accountant is all coming together!!! Whoohoo!

I use transaction reports all the time but I guess I've always manually
selected all of the accounts.
What I found is select children only selects the children of the last
account you clicked on. So when I started a new report select
all/select children just selected the top level account. If I then
click on assets then select all/select children it selects all of the
top level accounts and the it expands Assets and selects the children.
Then I can scroll down and select Expenses and select all/select
children and it selects all top/the displayed children of assets and it
expands Expenses and selects the children.
This along with selected an appropriate date range should get you something.
P.S. I using gnucash 2.4.13 on linux fedora 18.

That is quite a process to go through to see "all transactions",
including Asses Liabilities, Equity, Income and Expenses. You should
look into one of those "computer programs" to automatically select them
all for you. :))

John,
If you want to see the actual transactions that are in the data file
General Ledger instead of the General Ledger report, try this:
In the top menubar select Tools:General Ledger. That should default to
showing every transaction from a month ago on.
Then select View:Filter by: Date: Show All
Then you should see every transaction in the file.
This should work in all stable releases of GnuCash.
If you happen to be messing with release 2.5.2, you must select Tools:
Old General Ledger(or whatever it is called, as the new general ledger
in that version has a bug such that the view cannot be changed to show
history older than a month ago.)

Perfect! I hope everyone else who was dealing with this reads this message.

Hi all,
I am looking for a good software to track my families finances. I've tried
Toshl (https://toshl.com/), but it's quite primitive, and lacks quite a lot
of features. I've used GnuCash in the past, maybe some 4-5 years ago, and
it worked prety well.
I see there's also a windows build, that will make my life easier, as we
use different OSes at home. One thing that I am wondering - is there a way
to work on a single GnuCash project from multiple machines? Even better -
is there a mobile app or web app that I could use on the go?
Thanks
Darius

Many of us have had success with putting our GnuCash data files on Dropbox.
For me, this allows me to be able to update my Makerspace's books from at
home, at work, and a the Makerspace itself whenever I get an email
containing an invoice or a Paypal payment notification. There are other
solutions to the multiple machine issue.
GnuCash is not designed to have multiple people working on a single set of
books simultaneously, so no matter how you solve the multiple-machine
issue, you will have to quit GnuCash on Machine A before running GnuCash
(on the same data file) on Machine B.
There is an Android app called "GnuCash for Android" which allows on-the-go
data collection, but it isn't a full-fledged port of GnuCash. It collects
transaction data as it happens to export into an OFX suitable for import
into GnuCash. I haven't used it much myself.

Hi Buddha,
Glad to hear drop DropBox works nicely for this, will give it a try.
Google drive option would be nice too, but they still haven't provided
linux client for that, doh. Thanks! Will give it a go, i'll hopefully see
lots of new good improvements since last time i used GnuCash.

Got it in one.
