[Hudlug] a problem with gnucash

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

Yes if I can remember right that was the message that showed up when I 
tried to add a second account.
I will have another look at Gnucash later when I am on my laptop and try 
and see if I can find the box I have to check, hopefully the one you 
suggested I check is accessible with Orca.

You should have at least one entry entitle "New top level account". Is this highlighted? If not select it - In fact try selecting it anyway, and see if it makes a difference.
