Problem opening KMM file

[Jack]

Ah - I think Thomas had posted that Ctl-Alt-F was recently taken by 
Thunar, thus the KMM switch to Ctl-Shift-F for transactions search.  
Type T0000000003219 (using the right number of digits) in the text 
search box should find that transaction.  You might also find it based 
on the account and date as shown for that TRANSACTION.

Does KMM give a reason for not letting you edit the transaction? Is one 
of the referred accounts closed?  Closed accounts are not a problem, but 
missing accounts are.  You just need to reopen the account in order to 
edit the transaction.

To search for an account by id, you need to grep the xml or zgrep the 
kmy file, and then find the account in KMM by using the name. 
Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to search for account id in the 
program.

SUBACCOUNTs show accounts shown/grouped below the ACCOUNT in the 
Accounts View, but I think it is a problem that an account has a 
subaccount with the same id.  Perhaps it might be a side-effect of the 
problematic deletion that actually caused the issue.  A000432 not having 
itself as a subaccount should not be a problem.

Can you post the line you get when you grep for the name of the CD.  
That might shed some light on the issue.
