Cross-reporting ?

I too use that feature on Quicken 2002 right now.  I am transitioning to
gnucash.  I think it would be nice to maybe have multiple categories for
one transaction.  I dont mean split either.

using notes, and memo, etc. is not sufficient since those are unbounded
fields.  1 mistyped letter and your searching for your wife's
transactions will miss a few.

Still I recommend not ressurecting ye olde Lord, unless you are still on
"ye olde win98"...  Honestly quicken 2002 does not handle win2000 correctly.
