kmymoney: unable to add transaction: unknown id

Hello

 this is a known bug and I kind of remember that it has been
fixed. At least in CVS HEAD. The comment in the ChangeLog says:

  * Remove splits from scheduled transactions that reference not existing
    accounts

The problem is, that you have a schedule and deleted one of the accounts it
references in the meantime (the one with the id). In the latest
versions of KMyMoney (stable and development) you cannot create such a
schedule anymore (you cannot delete an account that is still referenced in a
schedule), so that also solves the problem.

Another way to solve your problem is to start KMyMoney with
option '-n' (alt +f2 kmymoney -n or open up a konsole/terminal and type kmymoney -n) which keeps it from loading the last opened file. Then turn off
the 'Check schedules on startup' option. Open the file in question and fix
the resp. schedule. This way, you don't have to twist your system date.

Hope the info helps

    Tried all this but, as was unusual for me, I had a current backup so
I completely deleted "kmymoney" and re-installed it. Having no
problems. I am a new user to Ubuntu and am sure I could "screw up a
soup sandwich" in any computer program. I want to thank you and
everyone who has tried to help me. I guess I'll just keep stumbling
along and finally learn the operating system. I've about worn my
operating manual out. By the way, how can I password protect a program
(Kmymoney) to keep people out of it? Help would be appreciated. Thanks
in advance -BOB-

Hello

Easiest way to retain privacy is to run different accounts for different users. Other users (unless they have admin access) would not be able to read your Documents folder. Fast user switching makes this very easy. If you don't want to create another account then have a look at cryptkeeper(http://www.tomatarium.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cryptkeeper.html) which is a nice tray applet for creating password protected stashes using encryption.

Bhavani Shankar.

Best way to password protect KMyMoney is to use the GPG encrypt. Create a private/public key, and then select it in KMyMoney to encrypt your file. Check the file format chapter of the online manual if you need more info.
