[GNC] Exporting Data

[David Carlson]

Usually GnuCash will allow any change to previous transactions, although
some are more difficult if they reside in accounts marked hidden or
placeholder, which may require extra steps or voided transactions also need
to be unvoided.  Almost the only thing that cannot be undone would ba a
transaction or account deletion.  So I cannot envision a need for the
radical surgery that you are proposing.  Even if you need to re-reconcile a
transaction from several months back, sometimes there is a work-around that
will save a lot of labor.  The easiest, of course, would be to simply
reconcile in the next monthly reconcile, allowing the reconciliation date
error to exist, but if there is a need to make that date correct, there are
a couple of ways to do it.  Both ways that I can think of are too complex
for this short email, and I have not actually tried either one.

If you can describe what you need to fix in more detail, someone here may
have a suggestion.
