Comment 2 for bug 401205

Hei Ku,
I'm moving from MS Money where entering my pay statements were much easier. I attempted to export and import to move the all the accounts over. The imports worked EXCEPT it didn't import any of my split transaction pay statements.

In .9.2 I enter the split transactions without any problem. Upgrading to .3 won't allow me to enter the withholding for the 401 accounts.

The way I performed it in msmoney was that the 401 contributions were "transferred" to a holding account. Then in the investment accounts the stock / mutual fund "buys" are taken from the 401 holding accounts.
I have a similar configuration in .2 and it appears to be working. However in .3 the split transaction wants a category.

How can I indicate that the money is withheld and placed in a different account to cover the 401 purchases? Especially since I already have many "deposits" in the holding accounts?

In addition when trying to enter any new records, or attempting to change the date on any existing record, as soon as I change the date, the enter key grays out and the only option I have access to is cancel.

I "uninstalled" ,3 and re-installed .2 so I can continue entering all the corrections to the import and actually start using the program.

Thanks for listening.

Lee
