[GNC] flex card for medical expenses

[Lawrence Whalen]

Hi all,

Thank you for your responses. I wasn't thinking on the reply all I
apologize for that.

David T if you could send once more how you set up your accounts for the
flex card it would be much appreciated. I don't know what happened to the
original one, but I can't find it. In google mail I set up labels for Gnucash
and I just can't find yours for some reason.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Larry
