[GNC] Adding new accounts

[Gyle McCollam]

Thank you all!  I didn't think it was the setting "View>Filter By>{“Other” tab]>Show unused accounts" or "View->Filter By..->Other->Show Zero Total Accounts" as when it didn't seem to add the account, I tried again.  On the second attempt, I did not get the error message that the account already existed.  I did get that message after reinstalling the software, so you were right that may have been prt of the issue.  I notice that even the subaccount indicator does not show up when the subaccounts are zero or not used.  I appreciate all the suggestions and happy to be running again.


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

I've done this very thing to myself in the past. Turns out I wanted to
stop seeing a bunch of zero value accounts and didn't make them
"hidden", but instead unclicked the


View->Filter By..->Other->Show Zero Total Accounts checkbox.


Since new accounts have a zero balance, voila (or maybe un-voila?) they
disappear as soon as they're created. What fun.
