What should happen, IIRC, is that you'll get an account tree that looks something like this: Assets +- Fidelity Ultra +- (stocks here) Income +- Interest +- Fidelity Ultra So in essence we'd get the interest income as a transfer from Income:Interest:Fidelity Ultra -> Assets:Fidelity Ultra. -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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
