[GNC] Deleting an account

[Gyle McCollam]

I had a Parent Account:  Bank Name, with Subaccounts  Bank Name:Checking,  and Bank Name:Special Checking.  I wanted to eliminate the subaccounts and end up with only the Parent account.


  1.  I changed the Parent account Bank Name from a placeholder account to a regular account.
  2.  I deleted Bank Name: Checking and moved all the transactions to Bank Name.  A dialogue box explained what I was about to do and asked if I sure I want ed to do this.  It gave me the choices of "Cancel" and "Delete".  That was slightly confusing, it would have been better if it was "No" and "Yes", even "No/ Cancel" and "Yes/Delete" would be more clear.
  3.  There were "Scheduled Transactions" (ST), involving the subaccount.  It displayed the 10 ST and asked if I wanted to edit them.  I thought this was a REALLY GREAT feature and was thankful that it checked ST to see if they were affected.  However, I would be even better if it had substituted the account the transactions were moved to for the account that was deleted instead of just removing the deleted account (it leaves the associated split, which is also great).  That way the account could just be accepted without editing or edited only if need be.

This software is great and it does more than I need.  I hope this suggestion is heard as that and not a complaint, because it is not a complaint.


Thank You,
