[GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question

Hi,

To be clear, when you say more than one top level Asset account, you mean
that there are two Asset accounts at the top of the Chart of Accounts. I
have Assets and nested under that Cash, TFSA. RRIF etc. and under each of
those the actual bank accounts etc. The same with Expenses, Income etc. So
that does not seem to be the issue.

Thanks,

Larry
