Derek,

   Yes, the invoice posting account is A/R, but the income account to which
it posts when paid I had as the checking account, not the revenue account.
This on only the last two invoices; the earlier ones were correct. That's my
error because I'm used to having new transactions default to previously used
accounts.

   OK. For whatever reason it did not see the history on one client; the
other is a new one.

Thanks,
