I appreciate all the help and suggestions I've received. I think I
know how to proceed for now.

To answer several helpers: the reason I wanted to hide or delete some
accounts is because, years ago, I tried importing security data from
several financial accounts but didn't keep them current. Most of those
securities have since been either transferred to another institution,
sold, or converted into IRA accounts. In general, I want to keep that
original data but only for possible historical use for any audits.

I want my book to just reflect active bank accounts, home improvements
and basis, expenses, liabilities, and income. I will add existing
non-bank financial assets in the aggregate (by institution, probably
updated monthly, possibly via OFX or QIF).

So, unless someone has any more suggestions, consider this thread closed.

Thanks again for tons of friendly advice--I'm sure I'll be asking for
help again.

Blessings,

-Tom
