Odd Register Problem

[Fross, Michael]

Thanks all.  For the benefits of others, in Quicken I had a scheduled
transaction with placeholders for pay I receive for vacations and
holidays.  They are normally blank.  When they were imported into GNUCash,
they came in as splits, but with no dollars assigned.

Deleting these "empty" splits fixed my issue.

Thanks all for the help and pointing me toward the correct terminology.
