That was what I was used to with Quickbooks. In fact Quickbooks keeps an audit trail by default, so if you change a transaction, that is saved as a change and can be tracked. (You can turn this off if you are using it yourself, but nice to have if employees are using your Quickbooks.) In trying to import my kMyMoney data into GnuCash, I found the the import submenu has a replay log file option. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
