Fighting with gnucash

[Anita Graves]

Help!!!  I am a beginner trying to set up a new account tree and have these problems:

1.  It is a read-only file now (don’t know what I did but unchecked the placeholder things a bzillion times)

As I understand it correctly or not, there are only two placeholder accounts:  Asset and Liability

2.  I cannot enter the opening balances of cash on hand or checking account.

Help!!

Thanks,
Anita Graves
