Merci Maxime,

J'avais pas tenté le coup du ctrlA! En effet ça facilite l'entrée des
nombres...

Cordialement, André

PS: pour info je suis un utilisateur de Quicken depuis 20 ans (actuellement
j'utilise Quicken 2006, la version la plus récente en français)...
Je suis tombé sur HomeBank en recherchant un outil qui soit disponible sur
Windows (ordi principal à la maison) et sur Ubuntu (ancien portable Windows
converti à Linux, utilisé en vacances).
Depuis j'ai réussi à installer Quicken sur Ubuntu via Wine...
Ça fait 2 mois que je rentre mes transactions en double dans Quicken et
dans HomeBank en attendant de décider lequel je garderai.
Charger 17 ans d'historique Quicken (4 banques, environ 20 comptes chèques,
cash, livrets, titres, ...) dans HomeBank n'a pas été simple mais j'y suis
arrivé....
Il y a des avantages et des inconvénients aux 2 programmes...
