Showing an investment as an expense in a report

[Laurent Duperval]

Hi,

I would like money put into a long-term education fund to show up as an 
expense. But I also need it to show up as an asset. How can I do this?

What I tried doing is:

    * Add an expense in Expenses:Education:Fund
    * Add a transfer from the above to Assets:Long Term:Education Fund
    * Each month I add an expense to my education fund. Righ after that,
      I make a transfer from that expense to my Education fund.

When I show the report (the Expense piechart) the transaction set from 
above doesn't show up, I.e., the net result is 0. This is logically 
correct but it doesn't provide me with the information I need.

Can anyone offer a better way to do this?

Thanks,

L
