I set up all my accounts last week without the account codes so now I have the account hierarchy I want . The transfer column is not recognising the accounts I have already set up as they have no codes . How do I assign codes to all accounts already set up so that when I put an entry in the transfer column it will pick up the pre existing account as at the moment it doesn't . Thanks Donald

What do you mean by "codes".  You can just start typing to enter the
account name (eg Expenses:Fuel), or you can click the the little
square at the end of the field to give a drop down list of accounts.
If you type a few letter, such as Exp and then hit : it will fill in
the rest of the word for you.
