I read and reread your instructions, but I still can’t figure out how to
split out a charge to amazon, where each item belongs in a separate expense
category.  I tried following the income example, but that didn’t seem to
work.  The totals were wrong .



I tried to enter a transaction under my credit card with “Amazon” as the
payee.  I can enter the total amount but cannot figure out how to split out
the subtotals, including tax.  Tried various methods.  Nothing worked.



HELP.

PS Like your program but DO wish you could make a simple password access to
the accounts file.  I’m not sophisticated enough to figure out how to
encrypt or password protect the file.  The only solution I could come up
with was to leave out all account numbers and not plan on any on-line
transactions.  I’ve tried Quicken before and HATE it.  Like yours.
