I am sorry you purchased Gnucash since it is open-source software and
totally free. You can get it at www.gnucash.org. I don't know what version
you purchased but it might not be the latest version. Go to that site and
update if you do not have the latest version. Also on that site is the help
and tutorial if it was not provided with what you purchased. You should
read that before asking anyone any questions.

The developers and support people are volunteers and not paid (myself
included); so you should not contact them directly via e-mail unless asked
to do so. At www.gnucash.org, you can subscribe to the user list,
gnucash-user at gnucash.org, to which you should send any questions, but not
until you have read the help and tutorial. I am forwarding a copy of this
response to that list. The list is quite active and responsive to questions.

By the way, if you do not know accounting, the tutorial might help but you
should go to your local library and check out a basic accounting text book
and read it. The user list is for answering gnucash-specific questions, not
for providing basic accounting hand-holding (again it is volunteers who
answer questions).
