Imbalance account

Hi Derek
thanks for the reply.  I imported as a qif file, then allocated the 
transactions after they were imported.  Funny thing is that I've done it 
before without this happening, and of course you don't notice it unless you 
look at the Chart of Accoutns

Which import mechanism did you use, and how did you allocate to the
respective inc/exp accounts?  Having the Imbalance account filled as you
describe implies that this allocation did not happen properly during
import.
