Removing old account

[Chris Brown]

Johann,
  The way I got around this problem is to create a subgrouping for my closed accounts, and just not expanding the subgrouping.

+Bank Accounts
        -Checking account
        -Savings account
        +Closed bank accounts
                -Closed checking account
                -Closed savings account
             
This way they are out of the way, but still accessible.  Also this takes them out of most reports, because the report default is to show two levels deep.  Leaving just the one line of "Closed bank accounts $0.00", on the report instead of 6 or 7 lines of closed accounts with 0 balances. This is just a workaround, but it should help you until a more 
permanent solution is found.  

   Chris
