I clicked on the icon post for a particular invoice.  A window appears with
the question, do you really want to post this invoice?

The account name is not in the Post to Account spin box, so I click on New.

The New Account window comes up and if I look in the parent account spin box,
the account appears there.  If I try to enter it again in the account name
box then click OK, a window appears that states there is already an account
that has that name.  So I click ok, but cannot post the invoice.
