Stock Splits

[David Gilbert]

I'm new to this also, but I can create a stock split simply by entering a 
transaction in the stock account for (say) 100 shares at a price of zero.  
Since there is no value to this transaction, GnuCash doesn't insist on a 
transfer account.  

The number of shares increases, as you'd expect.  The total cost of the 
shares remains the same, also as you'd expect.

In the version of GnuCash I have (1.6.2) there is a druid that will create 
this transaction for you if you fill in the correct details. 

Hope this helps,

Dave Gilbert
