[GNC] How to fix "Unable to Save to Database" error - Second Request

[Eric H. Bowen]

I'm seeing the error on all three operating systems, although it first 
appeared on the Windows 10 computer. The pop-up error message does 
appear only when importing transactions, and only from one specific 
account (my personal checking account) at that, and since it seemed as 
though the transaction records were not affected I put up with it for 
several months as just a nuisance. However, recently I've been trying to 
reconcile a loan account for a vehicle which was totaled and paid off by 
insurance, and when I try to balance the liability of the loan off 
against the asset for the value of the vehicle it seems to post properly 
for that session...but when I restart Gnucash for the next session, the 
amount has moved back to "Imbalance". A couple of other transactions are 
doing this as well, but the auto payoff is the big'un. I want to get the 
known error taken care of first, and then when the imports are back to 
working properly I want to see if I'm still having problems balancing 
out these transactions and, if I do, I'll post a separate request to the 
list----Eric.
