Will any of these make a difference? I took it that he was complaining 
about the fact that only in the "Total" column do parent account balances 
include the child accounts. And the "Total" column includes future 
transactions as well as to-date ones. There's no way to see rolled-up 
totals on the Accounts page, unless you refrain from entering future-
dated transactions.
