Easiest way to keep track of transfer between accounts

[Kash]

If what the poster means is "how do I look at only the transfers between 
my bank accounts?" I've found the transaction report to be useful. Use 
Reports > transaction report.

This report can filter transactions from one or more accounts by, one or 
more of the other accounts involved in the transaction.

If, for instance, to see all payments to one or more credit cards from 
one or more bank accounts:
reports > transaction report.
click Options > accounts
choose the bank accounts in the accounts box (note: hold down ctrl to 
choose multiple accounts)
choose the credit card accounts in the filter by box.
click apply.

note: If the statement "every transaction involves at least two 
accounts" does not make sense, go to accountingcoach.com and read the 
section "accounting basics" and the section "the accounting equation" 
for a very basic understanding of how double entry accounting works. It 
will take less than an hour and save months of confusion.
