12:49:26 <HASM> Is it possible to reassign splits to a different account, once a transaction has been reconciled?

14:06:44 <warlord> HASM: Depends on which split/account you want to reassign.
14:07:26 <HASM> interface doesn't let me do it when I click on the account pulldown
14:09:45 <warlord> right...
14:09:54 <warlord> Expand the transaction and do it from there
14:10:34 <HASM> seems to work, thanks

22:44:25 <warlord> Zombie: ask your questio.
22:45:15 <Zombie> My bank is a Credit Union that sends an offers a "Download to Money" link in their personal Web Banking suite.
22:45:26 <Zombie> This looks to be some sort of OFX Connector.
22:46:35 <Zombie> They are listed as OFX Compliant on the OFX web page,
22:46:40 <warlord> Could be...
22:46:50 <warlord> It's unclear if it's Direct Connect or Web Connect.
22:47:17 <Zombie> What the "Download to money" thing downloads is a OFX File that has some bizzare XML Markup in it.
22:47:19 <Zombie> Its text.
22:47:39 <Zombie> But the import OFX thing never seems to really do anything
22:47:43 <warlord> Well, OFX is SGML.
22:48:15 <warlord> The download to money could be "web connect", which basically means download-from-website-and-then-load-ofx-into-financial-program
23:12:32 <Zombie> It doesn't seem to hae any actual records in it
23:13:21 <warlord> what does it have?
23:21:56 <Zombie> Looks like Login data for my bank among other things.
23:22:53 <warlord> Hmmm.
23:23:03 <warlord> Maybe it's data you could plug in to OFX-DC?
23:51:02 *** arlie has joined #gnucash
23:51:22 <arlie> Hi, it's another dumb user with what's probably a FAQ ;-)
23:52:06 <arlie> I'm trying to set up an investment account, and cannot figure out how to record changes in value of the security - as compared to purchases or sales of it
23:52:19 <warlord> you dont
23:52:34 <arlie> I _don't_ ? what use is that then?
23:52:36 <warlord> you just enter priceDB entries to record the price, and look at the value in the CoA
23:52:53 <arlie> hmm, think I need to rtanslate that to menu options
23:52:55 <warlord> But that wont affect hte register view
23:53:20 <arlie> hmm, "view" doesn't offer me anything it calls "register view" - or priceDB or CoA
23:53:44 <warlord> sorry, 'register' isn't a view per se -- the register is the register.
23:53:52 <warlord> pricedb isn't used in the register, only in the CoA
23:53:56 <arlie> my choice of views seem to be 2 types of ledger or transaction journal - which is another way to restarte my problem
23:54:08 <arlie> what i s "CoA"?
23:54:14 <warlord> Chart of Accounts
23:54:44 <arlie> thw screen with account name, description, value?
23:55:06 <warlord> yes. and you can add a column "value in report currency" to get what you want.
23:55:19 <arlie> it looks like if I buy more at a new price, it applies that price to existing shares
23:55:24 <arlie> ah
23:55:31 <arlie> plus figure how to update it
23:56:22 <arlie> hmm - I see a "price editor" tool. is that part of the puzzle?
23:56:59 <warlord> yes, that's the editor of the pricedb
23:57:05 <arlie> and it seems ignorant of most of the securities I imported from quicken, never mind the new one
23:57:29 <warlord> that's because there are no prices in the db
23:58:00 <arlie> why not? there's been a whole history of purchases. And quicken certainly had a record of prices.. should have been in the file I imported?
23:58:18 <warlord> pricedb entries aren't imported
23:58:34 <arlie> actually, why doesn't matter. the real question is how do I fix. and is there a TFM?
23:58:41 <arlie> *sigh*
23:58:46 <warlord> Yes, this is all in the docs.
23:58:54 <warlord> As for how to fix it, Get Quotes
23:59:17 <arlie> hmm - that would imply I could translate ,ututal func acronymns to something else
23:59:21 <arlie> mutual
23:59:36 <arlie> silly system wants to know what exchange they are traded on, as if they were stocks
