I don't know about your broker setup, but here, the cash values are kept in a "sweep" fund that is also a stock. My "cash" fund is actually a mutual fund that keeps the price stable at USD 1.00. But it ought to work with a bank type also, I would think. On Sat, Nov 9, 2024 at 8:01 AM Boniforti Fla

Are you trying to delete the "blank split"? You can't do that -- it's your point-of-entry for new data. It doesn't actually exists, it's there for you to create new entries. Therefore, you cannot delete it. Did you change the settings to not have the blank split at the end of the register? -der
