Thats's odd - I certainly added a few entries to several sub-accounts.

Thanks for the info. I will try and build 2.2.3 this week for SuSE 9.3 and 
I might even try building it for Solaris 9 or 10 as well. My fault 
entirely for not saving the accounts after each update but no real harm 
done as this particular set of accounts is little used and I've since dug 
the info I need out of the bank statements, etc.
