Derek,

   That's different from the previous software so I'll ask my accountant
(after tax season, of course) how she wants me to handle this. As far as I'm
concerned it does not matter as long as I can get account summaries for
specific date ranges. Another thing for me to learn as I use GnuCash (now
for business as well as personal.)

Much appreciated,

Rich
