Description Eli 2003-04-02 02:43:04 UTC 
Add a help message if the user tries to leave either the company or name 
blank when creating a customer company that explains that all customers 
are companies, and to enter an individual, just enter the name in both 
fields and gnucash will Do The Right Thing(tm).
Comment 1 Derek Atkins 2003-05-30 21:24:34 UTC 
Ok, I only set the message if they enter a "contact name" but no
"company name".  A company without a contact is perfectly reasonable.

The new message reads:

You must enter a company name.
If this customer is an individual (and not a company) you should set
the "company name" and "contact name" the same.

A similar change has been made for vendors.  This change is now in CVS.
