Hi Todd, Never had any formal training for book keeping (just lots of practice!) Been using GC for around 15 or 16 years now, for businesses & personal, before that some version of Quicken originally released for Win95. (or possibly Win3.1) I must have a bit of an accountant's brain, though, cos I seemed to just "get" double-entry accounting straight away when starting with GC - although I do still struggle to remember which side is debit & credit in a transaction. Doesn't really matter for entering data very often, cos if i get the transaction backwards it is immediately obvious in the register. It's only a problem when posting on the list where there aren't existing transactions to check against! Gonna try and apply Cricketonebit's tip on friday in your other thread about "liking" debits and "being sad" for credits, and see if that helps. I use double-line auto-split ledger view by preference, but since you say that you're not bothered about the other accounts and everything is lumped together, I'm not sure why you'd need to see the split detail - I'd have thought that Basic ledger was more like what you originally wanted as a simple account overview?
