Can someone explain to me how to use the "Account" option when doing an
Edit-->Find operation?
I have an asset Account register open that represents my bank account. I
want to search for all the transactions that have a "Medical" expense
Account as their Transfer Account (the Account that appears in the
"Transfer" column in the register). I click on Edit -->Find... A dialog
box comes up. I select "Account" in the selection box at the top left. I
select "matches any account" in the selection box to the right of it. I
select "Choose Accounts" in the selection box to the right of that, and
I select the "Expenses/Medical" Account and click on "OK". I select "any
criteria are met" in the selection box to the right and a little above
that. I select the radio button "New search" in the "Type of search" box
in the lower left of the dialog box. I then click on "Find" at the lower
right of the dialog box. It comes back with a "Search Results" page that
shows no results.
The register contains numerous transactions that have the "Medical"
Account as their Transfer Account.
I have read the "Help" text that pops up when I click on the "?Help"
button at the bottom left of the dialog box several times. I still can't
decide whether I am doing something wrong, or if I completely
misunderstand how an "Account" search is supposed to work.
