Hi Everybody
Many thanks for the clear instructions for consolidating accounts. That
worked a treat.
When coming to do a backup I encountered something of a surprise (see
attached screen shot). The Accounts were previoulsy known as
"Kath&PeteAccoounts.gnucash.20221229212946.gnucash" but from 5/5/23 the
name has been changed to "01Jan2023 QIF
Imports.gnucash.20230506111943.gnucash". I have no recollection of
making such a change, not to mention wondering what ever happened to
entries for January, February, March, and April although the actual
transactions entered in those months are in the current file. I am also
intrigued as to why the file name type has changed to QIF imports.
I do find that GNU Cash is full of little surprises.
Best wishes
Pete

back up your file before you do the following
1. make sure interest earned account is not a place holder (edit
account will give you the details)
2. Delete the sub account, the pop-up will ask to which account you
want to transfer.
3. Choose Interest Earned as your receipient account.
4. On accepting, the transactions will move to your Interest Earned
account.

Subject: [GNC] Tidying up an Old Set of Accounts
Hi Folks
I have moved to GNU Cash from Quicken (about 1987 version plus
Milenium
option) so have a rather 'messy' set of accounts that reflect my
differeing needs over the years.
I now wish to do some sonsolidation. For example I am in the silly
poition of having three acounts for interest earned - Interest Earned,
Interest Gross, Interest Net.
In this case I would like to simply merge the two sub-accounts into
the
Interest Earned account. Having tried working through the Help
section
I cannot seem to find a suitable tool.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Pete
