[GNC] My Bad! My balance column disappeared . . .

[David H]

Ah I guess from re-reading some of this you've shrunk the Balance column in
one of the Registers and not the accounts tab :-)  As David T. said, if
you're running Windows you can just open File Explorer and type %APPDATA%
in the address bar which will open your AppDate \ Roaming folder and you
should see your GnuCash folder in it.  If you open that and then open the
books folder you should see your <gnucash file name>.gnucash.gcm file. I
guess you need to search for a 'balance_width=0'  or maybe
'balance_width=1' in it and set it to something like balance_width=77.

Cheers David H.
