Thank you. I did exactly that. :)

Accounting has always been my weak spot. I m moving from quickbooks to 
GNUC as it actually looks simpler to me and less confusing then QBs. 
Seems in QBs you dont get such a clear picture of what its doing in the 
background. Especially when you run into a balance problem. With GNUC I 
can quickly find issues and correct them.

Thanks for the reply,
