    Continuing...  Tablet doesn't like me
That was supposed to be new account wizard...  Start little with a few accounts.  As Maf stated when you import GnuCash will allow new accounts to be created or allow matching to existing accounts.  The latter comes in handy to improve details like spelling too.

Hi Paul,If the importer creates the account House, and you want it to be Expenses:House in GC, then from the "Chart of Accounts" view, you can easily move accounts around in the tree.  Just right click on the account you wish to move, and then hit "Edit Account" from the pop-up menu.  Towards the bottom of that dialogue box, you can set the Type to Expense and set Parent to whatever you want.HTH,Maf.On Friday, 27 May 2016 18:11:59 BST Paul Kinzelman wrote:> I'm trying to import a large QIF file from my Quicken, and one> inconvenient thing> is that GnuCash does not recognize many accounts as being expense accounts> because it does not group them under the parent account 'Expenses'.> > For instance, my Quicken categories 'House:Garden' and 'House:Household' are> both recognized as subaccounts under 'House' in Gnucash, but neither are> put under the parent 'Expenses' as is suggested in the setup.
