[GNC] I can't get the budget feature to work.

[wheelercsg-lists at yahoo.com]

Lorrie,

I've seen this problem in GnuCash 2.6; I don't know whether it has 
changed in 3.x:

Make sure that you have only one account of type Expense and one account 
of type Asset at the top level of your accounts. If you have more than 
one, then the budget function doesn't work as you've described.

You can check this by going to the Accounts tab, right-clicking (in 
Windows, might be different on a Mac?) on each top-level account, and 
selecting "Edit Account". This will open an options window for the 
account. The account type is at the lower left.

Hope that helps.
