Hi Will,

Sorry to be obtuse, I understand your frustration but your post above doesn't 
really contain enough info to be able to help you. 

Can you take a deep breath, and go through what you do in a step-by-step way, 
for one example transaction?  Maybe if the knowledgable folks on this list can 
help you get a two- or three-way split transaction entered correctly, you'll 
be able to do more complicated ones by yourself.

If you can grab screenshots of what you see, just before and after "they 
disappear", and post those, it might be useful.  

Maf.
