There is no way to act en-masse on transactions except in one corner case, which is if you delete an account you can move *all* the transactions from that account into another account. Beyond that one corner case, there is no way to operate on multiple transactions. Your best bet may be to create a QIF file that contains the transactions you want and then import that file. > 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.
