You have gotten a lot of help from at least 6 different people who have
either worked on developing GnuCash or are users who have previously
solved the problems you say you are having and are very happy with the
program.  Yet you refuse to accept their input.  You even suggest that
they are wrong when they tell you that it has been working for them.

We cannot help you if you will not listen to us.
