[Kmymoney] Re: Cannot edit payee list

[Ian Millington]

Wow!

Thanks for the quick response guys.

Thomas - I didn't know you could save as an anonymous file. I'll do that
tonight when I get home.

Christian, I'll give the kde3 version a try. I'm not great with source files
so I wonder if there is a link to a .deb somewhere. Couple of points:

Will I need to uninstall version 4.5.3 before installing the earlier version
and
I read somewhere (can't remember where) that if I delete a payee it deletes
all transactions with that payee. Is that correct please and, if so, do I
need to do anything to avoid it?

many thanks

Ian
