[GNC] Frustration

[David Cousens]

Andrew,

As Michael pointed out, there is no real need in GnuCash to start a new file
each year.  The report structure is designed to produce appropriate reports
as required. You just need to setup the options for the report after opening
a copy of the report.in the window (menu is context sensitive).  

If you do need to create a new file for some reason, use the
File->Export->Export Account Tree to CSV to export your account structure,
the Fuile->NewFile to open a new file.In the setup wizard you cannot proceed
if you Clear All but if you select the Simple Check Book  only two accounts
are setup and these are easily deleted. Finish the Wizard. You can then
delete the Checking account and Opening balances and then import your
account structure from  the CSV file you previously exported with
File->Import->Import Accounts from CSV.  You will need to setup the
preferences for the new book/file to match your previous settings and the
accounting period for your jurisdiction.
