Hello John,

Please I will like to find out how 2 gnucash files can be merged, if I have 2 gnucash files, how can I merge them into one so that the dates and transaction entries fit into their right places?

Thanks

Gabriel

Probably not.

Assuming that the transaction is recording spending some of the money in your wallet, you'd normally want the other account to be an Expense account which gives some indication of what you spent the money on.
