Thanks for the reply, Adrien.
Yes, I tried that repeatedly but kept getting the same error message. I
decided to go back to a previous GC file, opened it and my problem is
now solved. I saved that file with a new name.
The fix was too simple although I have done this many times in the past.

Did you try putting it back in it’s original place and trying again?
I’ve encountered this error before, but sadly do not recall what triggered it
or how I fixed it. I think I slightly recall it had something to do with
similar naming, but I could be mistaken.
My instinct though would be to double check the types of each account and make
sure they are correct. There might be a check against placing non-asset
accounts under other asset accounts for example. Perhaps the account in
question somehow is of the wrong type.

I have a set my chart for accounts under Current Assets: Cash, then various banks etc. Today, I
decided to add a sub account to Cash: Banks. In attempting to place the various banks under
"Banks", one of my accounts got accidentally placed under another bank and I cannot
figure out how to undo it. When I try to change the parent account I get a message "you must
choose a valid parent account".
I can't figure out how to correct this. Probably just brain dead. I have
changed structures before without any problem.
System is LInux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.6.17.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
