I think I'm getting that understanding a little bit. Thanks! Debit Checking Account - Credit Rent - paying a bill and knowing why (even though in my Quicken mind the Rent account is just a category)
I found a Transfer transaction on the tool bar that accommodates the type of transfer I am used to, i.e.: Debit Checking Account - Credit Visa Account - paying a bill In a perfect world, I'd sure like to use GC the same way. Maybe with all the help and usage I'll get there.
