[GNC] Reconciliation is not adding up correctly - what to do??

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry to break this to you after the fact, but GnuCash could have moved all those transactions for you in a second or two.

In the future:

1. Create new account
2. Delete old account
3. When GnuCash asks you what to do with all those transactions, tell it the new account to move them to.


Regards,
Adrien
