Debit a 'Checking Account' Only

[John P. New]

If all of the transactions in the "Imbalance" account are to become 
transactions in a "Checking" account, then simply edit the "Imbalance" account 
(Edit>Edit Account when in the Accounts tab) and change the name of the 
"Imbalance" account to "Checking",  Make sure that you choose the correct 
values for the various options, especially "Account Type" and "Parent 
Account", and you should be set.

The next time you have a transaction that doesn't balance, GNUCash will create 
a new "Imbalance" account, and leave the changed one alone.

I just tried this with GNUCash 2.2.9.
