You can do this now: 1. Open checking register. 2. Switch to multi-line mode (or auto-single). 3. Add a new split transferring from Salary for 1000 as a deposit. 4. Add a second split transferring to Expenses:Tax for 150 as a payment. 5. Go back to single line mode. the transaction should have added $850 to your checking account. dave -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
