Hello,

I have two GnuCash files or account books if you will - one for my home
accounts and another for my small business.  I have an account in each of
these two books, which is a "control" account that contains transactions
relating to the other account book.  For instance, if I paid an expense
from my home bank a/c relating to my business, I record the cash payment in
my Home Account book, with the corresponding debit going to the Business
book "control" a/c sitting in my Home Account book.  Then in my Business
Account book, I record the expense, and the corresponding credit goes to
the Home book "control" a/c.

My question is: I want to compare the transactions posted in these two
control accounts, so I need to view these two "control" accounts (which are
lying in two separate files or account books) in the form of two windows
which I can view using Alt-tab, just like we toggle between two files in
Windows.  Can I do that here, if so how ?

[There is a workaround no doubt - print one of the GLs as a report in
excel, then open the other account in GnuCash, and toggle between Excel and
GnuCash, but I wanted to know if there is a way to keep windows open in two
different GnuCash files at the same time.]
