Gnucash Not Responding on close after report - Win7

Sun Nov 30 14:32:54 EST 2014

David, I took your suggestion and gnucash works perfectly. 

I was wondering however if anyone has tried version 2.6.4-2 in windows 7
using the compatibility mode. I'd be interested in knowing if that solves
the problem?

Actually, there is another choice that John forgot to mention.

Switch to a Unix-like operating system.  GnuCash 2.6.4 runs very nicely
in most flavors of Linux.  Granted, there are other possible
complications, such as finding a pre-compiled package or transferring
your data files back to Windows, but some users might be willing to try
that option. 
The file transfer 'problem' is exactly identical to the well known
'complications' between OS's with all file types such as access and
security permissions. There are solutions that work for most users, I
just can't get that part working on my particular lan.  My fall-back
would be to use a USB memory key.  They have gotten really cheap.  You
can even keep your OS on a USB key so you don't need to mess with boot
managers.

Second that.

As I have repeatedly said, I am NOT an accountant, not qualified to give 
advice about WHAT you would be doing (as opposed to how to do that what 
using gnucash) and this especially true when dealing with other 
jurisdiction where I have no experience reporting. Which I why I keep 
repeating "get professional advice" or if you are trying to do it by 
yourself, get books covering the subject. It's one thing knowing on a 
personal level (having seen the financial reports of larger charities to 
act as examples and having filled out reports to governmental 
jurisdictions) "what you are proposing to do isn't the usual accounting 
standard; there's more to this".

Hi John,

Correct. Regardless of which account register is open, it is only querying
one bank, let's say "Bank A". When the "Bank A" register is open, it
queries that bank and correctly adds the transactions.  When the "Bank B"
register is open, it queries "Bank A" but reports back that no transactions
were found.  Thoughts?

thanks
Max

This is resolved. I went online and the account was locked out saying that
the wrong password was used too many times. I fixed that and then
re-created the Online setup.

thanks
