Thanks David. I was pulling out a blank sheet and scribbling T accounts all over it. I managed to follow by breaking each pair of lines into numbered transactions to the various T accounts. I was trying to pair the Medical Expense up with the Liability account and was stymied that that point. This approach broke the logjam. Hopefully the OP follows also. --Steve -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
