[GNC] budget reports 'YTD' vs 'use accumulated amounts'

[Adrien Monteleone]

I forgot about that option.

For completeness, what you are describing is to start with the new 
version on a new computer with a fresh file, then just use your ending 
figures from the 2.6.15 file as 'opening balances' in the new file, correct?

Note, you can start entirely fresh, or if you like, you can export just 
the Chart of Accounts from 2.6.15, import it to 5.3, and then manipulate 
it from there.

The upgrade path isn't as terrible as it sounds, and it would allow you 
to preserve in-app access to historical data. But by all means, chart 
your own course. You have lots of options.

Regards,
Adrien
