No I didn't delete the account?
Why would I do silly thing like that and lose all that history?

The account is hidden because it's balance is 0.

Reappearing means exactly what it says.
I was no longer in the account tree, i.e. list, because after the sale it's balance became 0. No matter how I record that late dividend the balance becomes non 0 and the account reappears in the account tree or list.

I don't under stand the last part.

Otherwise, and unless you marked it 'hidden' it will always be there. Having activity in it doesn't change that. But you wouldn't have activity in it anyway from a dividend.

What *exactly* do you mean by 'reappearing in my account list' and by 'screwing everything else up'?

A Dividend receipt would normally be between some asset account ('bank' or a brokerage cash account if direct deposit, 'undeposited funds' if by paper check) according to how you received the money, and an Income/Revenue account, say 'Dividends Received'. The FundXYZ account shouldn't be touched at all.

Last month I sold a mutual fund say XYZ.
Several weeks after the sale closed and the calendar date went into the next quarter I received a dividend from XYZ. How do I enter that dividend transaction for XYZ without having it reappearing in my account list and screwing everything else up?
