Do you know what would be nice? a total of a multiline. I know I can get one, but only when I go back to single line mode. Here is why this would be nice. Even though Quicken handles splits differently, their method can kind of be incorporated into gnucash. This is how I remember it working. If needed, I can fire it up and try to get some screenshots. In the quicken equivalent of "xfer from", one of the choices is "split". When you choose split, a split window comes up and you enter your lines and lines of data there. The neatest thing about the split window is the on-the-fly balance calculation. The first line of the split is a mirror of the main line, which might show Walmart, $131.72. Each following line is another split line. As you type in the different split lines, there is a running difference shown in the lower right, much like our register has a balance. One would know that their splits were typed in properly when the difference was $0.00. The description lines in the split window were really drop downs linked to the category listing. How could this be done in gnucash? Have the first line of a transaction be the sum of all of the split lines. (Also ignore each individual split line when doing the math. ;-) As we are typing in our splits (credit card payments are a huge one), we could keep an eye on the total value there in the main transaction line, and stop when the total of the transaction was equal to the transaction which we are entering. rob -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
