Hello all,

I've been working with KMyMoney exclusively for a week or so now, and I LOVE it. I have run into a snag or two though. One of them is that I have an account (that was imported from GnuCash) that is listed as an income account, but is actually an expense account. The transactions are all still debited/credited appropriately, but when I try and edit the account's properties, the 'income' category selector is grayed out. Is there any way I can correct this?

Thanks,

-Mike

I think the fastest way to do it is create a new account, then go to the old account, select all transactions and move them to the new account.

Almost. Create a new category (as expense), then simply delete the old (income) category. You will be asked:

Code: Select all
The transactions, schedules and budgets associated with the selected category need to be re-assigned to a different category before the selected category can be deleted. Please select a category from the list below.


Now select the new category and press OK.

This requires (I think) at least 0.9.2.
