This is cryptic and impossible to understand. There is no 'Opening Balances' account.

How do I resolve it? How do I get this corrected?

The opening balances account is created in the background whenever an account with an opening balance is created. Here's how you can modify its opening date:

• Open the ledger of one of the accounts with the opening balance on 01/01/1990.
• Goto the top and select the the 'Opening Balances' transaction (should be the first one if sorted by date)
• Select menu entry Transaction/Goto 'Opening Balances'
• Select menu entry Account/Edit account... and modify the opening date of the Opening Balances account by setting it to 01/01/1990 or prior
• Press OK
• Save the file
• Voilà

Hope that helps.

It did.

Problem solved.

Thanks.
