Re: [GNC] Fw: Help - Re: Gnucash Crash when Paying invoices

Thanks David.

That has my reports back and I can see where I need to go in and edit 
for my 2 stub voucher checks so they will print appropriately.

But, I am having trouble with stylesheets. I swap out for my older 
stylesheets-2.0 and after I open Gnucash, the contents of the 
stylesheets-2.0 reverts back to default (?) as it was with the new install.

Suggestions??

Thanks, Richard
