Thanks again, David. I am using v3.6 from the Arch Linux distro. I finally figured out *almost everything* that I complained about. Now I would like to compare my expenses at two grocers. My Expenses:Groceries ledger combines them financially.

Liz, Bitmancer There are modifications to the import matcher docs in progress which have the double clicking to modify a transfer account incorporated in them. The behavior is the same as in the register for changing the account for a split. AFAIK the behavior hasn't changed since the early

That did the trick. I split everything by month! Then I learned that by DOUBLE CLICKING on an account, I could change it from UNRECONCILED to the correct Expense. Nowhere in the online docs that I read does it say to DOUBLE CLICK. I would recommend that we alter the docs to fix this! -- Sent

Perhaps, before importing, add a "Groceries" sub account to your expenses account. Then, instead of importing the entire checking account from your bank, just import a month's worth of records or so. In the matcher step, assign transfer accounts accordingly. Then import the remaining records for
