Yes, Dave, I know. But the OP said that he didn’t use the Opening Balance tab of the new account dialog, he created an Opening Balance transaction by hand afterwards. Since he didn’t use the dialog it’s possible he made a mistake and I instructed him how he might check for one and repair it if he needs to.
