Thank you Babette--that worked! I'm a little embarrassed to have had this
confusion. I thought the category showed one account if money was coming in
and the other if money was going out. In any case I have cleared it up, and
my balance in both accounts is now correct.
Sorry if I had sent this to the wrong address--I had just replied to an
earlier post.
Thanks,
