[Keith Fetterman]

Adrien, Thank you for pointing out that Alex replied with the suggestions. I was cutting and pasting from a digest.

Alex, I apologize for the mistake. I appreciate the detailed explanation of your solution to use dummy expense accounts. Thanks.

Keith

Allow TXF categories to be assigned to any account type. This would be a more flexible design to support users' specific needs.
