Should I add any configuration for this to happen? I would recommend yes, convert it to qif. Then you can add a QIF Category: LExpenses:Auto:Gas which the importer will default to the GnuCash Account of the same name. If you need to insert an Asset/Liability then you can insert a QIF Account: L[Assets:Checking] and the same thing will happen. > Thank you, > > Aleksey > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warl...@mit.edu PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
