A thought,
I never, or just the last 40 years, make a beginning entry in account
creating. Sometimes I set up my next year before I have closed out my
previous year, so I don't have the final transactions for the Asset,
Liability and Equity accounts. I have a list of opening balance
transactions for those accounts. which I create each year, whether the
amounts are zero or not. Keeps me in control vs. the program.

Bob,
The Opening Balance shortcut that you see when creating an account is not
functional after the account is created, as you have seen.
That shortcut just creates a transaction to offset the opening balance with
an entry in Equity:Opening Balances. You can open that account and
duplicate any previous entry changing the transfer account to a different
account to create an opening balance in another account.

Thanks!
