Is it possible to find a specific split transaction based on the memo field and assign the account to transfer for that split item? Let me explain. I'm new to GnuCash and have just imported my Quicken data QIF file but it appears that some transactions within splits have no transfer account

Where are you seeing a ’save as’ function? The only place I can find one is in the File menu. But that is only for the entire book, not just the active tab. Regards, Adrien > On Jun 2, 2020 w23d154, at 11:33 AM, Neil B wrote: > > I'm giving the search a name using the "save as" function

After performing a search of an account with Find, I save the search in order to preserve a particular set of transactions containing the "find" term. When I access the saved record, the entire account comes back up. In other words, the Find function is useless as a means of preserving a search.

That was the right criteria. I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you. Maybe I missed something, but you noted earlier that you have 10 transactions that are transfers and are fixed properly. You want to delete everything else in AccountA. Doing a search for ‘everything else’ seems to be
