HELP!! I AM JUST STARTING TO USE GNUCASH BUT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS are more than I can put together.Is their someone that can help me? I would be willing to pay for services rendered. Just sooo tired of being screwed by Quikbooks and Quicken. Not looking for sympathy it's just that I am gettingclose to 85, own a small vineyard and Avocado grove and some investments, but am totally computer illiterate.Who can help?

You can export customers and vendors and transactions to Excel from 
Quickbooks.

Go to Customer Centre, Along the top you'll see Excel and a drop-down 
arrow which gives you the choice of Export Customer List and Export 
Transactions.  Then it's the same with Supplier Centre.
