Thanks for the reply.

OK got it, I did not realize that the entries could be added in one 
single place, but using the register makes sense, thanks.

This is exactly what I was looking for.  I was reading the docs, and 
trying to see if I could get it to work but I realized I'm only on 
GnuCash 2.6.3, so it didn't seem to be working.  Just curious though, in 
my case I have a structure similar to this:

Assets:Broker A:Widget Stock
Income:Dividends:Broker A:Widget Stock

Assets:Broker B:Widget Stock
Income:Dividends:Broker A:Widget Stock

Where the stock is the same one but held in two different broker 
accounts.  Will this new way work?  And if not is there a way to edit 
the report to make it work?

Thanks again for your help.
