I have just started looking at the Gnucash application which I installed 
on my laptop via Apt in Ubuntu Edgy when I used my Wireless card at my 
Linux group.
However I have come across a slight problem and I am not sure how to 
resolve it.
I prefer to add the accounts using the menus rather than the accounts 
wizard as I am not sure if the wizard gives me the same choices as 
regards my accounts but the problem is I can't seem to add more than one 
account because I get some error message about parent accounts I think 
it is.
Basically I have 4 accounts I would like to add and as far as I am aware 
they are all savings accounts.
Why can't I add more than one account without getting this error message?
Is this because you can only have one of each type of account ie one 
savings account and one of something else or is it because as I am 
totally Blind, when I try to add another account it tries to add it in 
the same place which is why I get this error message or I lose the 
account I have tried to add and just remain with the account which it 
has accepted for example I added details for my ISA but when I tried to 
add my account I use to pay my bills it just remained showing only the 
total amount in my ISA.
