Adrien and Christian, Just a comment on Adrien's last post. There is no need to have an opening balance for Retained Earnings. Any opening balance would be reflected in the Equity entries when you enter the opening balances for the Asset and Liability accounts (in a new book the Income and Expense Accounts should all have zero balances) in the new book. If you wanted to create an opening balance for Retained Earnings it would have to have Equity:Opening Balances as the transfer account to maintain the correct balances carried forward. The details of past Retained Earnings are recorded in the old book and unless you also transferred all the transactions to retained earnings as well your new book is not really going to contain any useful information you would need to carry forward.
