Thanks. As I just said in my reply to Pail, I'll stick with Quicken.

Maybe, in the days before computers, but these days I think making two
entries should go away. I greatly prefer the way Quicken does it. A
single entry creates a debit in one account and a credit in another.
The effect is the same as double entry but it's easier and less
error-prone.

Not me, for several reasons, one of which is that banking is only one
thing Quicken does.
