[GNC] Lost my checking account, my backup won't work

[David Carlson]

James,

Do not reply to individuals, only reply to list.  See the text at the end
of any message in the list for instructions.

>From your screenshot I do not see any checking account in your account
list.  That would explain why you cannot add checking transactions.  I have
no idea what "it" is that was asking for folders, but it is not GnuCash.  I
would also suggest turning off your spellchecker, as it is garbling up your
messages.
