Thanks, John.

I’ve recreated the file I started from earlier today, and then I went through the process of switching the transactions from asset accounts to corresponding liability accounts.

I had made and corrected a number of errors the first time round, ending in the crash, but I got into the swing quickly this time, and all the changes went through without a problem, and without the crash.

I hinted that the tab for one of the asset accounts had remained open after its deletion, but each time I deleted an account this afternoon the corresponding tab disappeared at once.

I’ll post a bug report, but without a reproducible crash I realise this may not be very enlightening.

Regards,

Michael
