Thanks. Unfortunately I can't move transactions to an account that is of a different type. If I create a new account with type Asset, it doesn't show up in the list of accounts that I can move the transactions to. If I change the type AR, it appears, but then once I have moved the transactions, I can't change it back to type Asset. So I think I'm stuck.
