I'm running kubuntu maverick, for which the default is 4.5.2 so that was probably the issue.<br><br>I say "was" because Claydoh advised me to uninstall the kde 4 version and manually install the debs from the ppa. He has warned me however that every time I update my system I will upgrade back to 4.5.2 so the KDE 3 version must be a short term fix. As has been pointed out, the KDE 3 version allows me to edit the payment list fine, and I suspect that as I add payees during the course of entering transaction details that should work, so progress has been made thanks.<br>

</div>I'm not an expert here, but I just installed the kde3 version by<br>
following the instructions. On my second PC, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS -<br>
Lucid Lynx.<br>
<br>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:claydoh/ppa<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
sudo apt-get install kmymoney2<br>
kmymoney2<br>
<br>
Try without adept.<br>
<br>
A word of caution, though. Contrary to what I said earlier, KMM was<br>
installed into /usr, so it could clash with your KMM4.<br>
