Hi Tony,

Yes, that is a liability for the company, an asset for the shareholder.

Can you change the cash flow report options so that the only account selected 
is the Loan From Shareholder account?  Does that show up the "lost" txn? (If 
not, then I've got it all wrong and I'll shut up)

The CF report shows transactions between (all selected accounts) and (all 
un-selected accounts) -  transactions between [a selected account] and 
[another selected account] won't show up, as cash hasn't flowed "out of" the 
selection.
