[GNC] Delete multiple transactions (was: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 192, Issue 7)

[David T.]

Of course, should the user wish to delete all records after a given date (or before) they could use the same filtering technique to create a view of the offending records and one by one delete them until the view is empty. This can happen pretty quickly, once the user tells gnucash to delete without confirmation for the rest of the session.

P.S. to the original poster: common etiquette when replying to a digest is to change the subject line from Digest to something meaningful. Better yet, create a new message altogether and put your subject in that.

Why do you need to start a new checking account? You can use the
View->FilterBy to restrict displays to a specific date period and you can
set the current accounting period in the Edit->Preferences dialog. All
reports can have the date or a date range specified for them. 

GnuCash does have an Accounting Close Books function to zero out the income
ans expense accounts for a new accounting period for those of us who stick
to formal accounting procedure, but it is not necessary to use it as GnuCash
is setup that way. This would not normally be done toasset accounts in any
case.

Consult the Tutorial and User Guide
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/index.html and Help manuals
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/help.html for detailed
instructions on using GnuCash.
