Stan, No I knew you were referring to the Ledger and I think David did also though he linked to the help on the Journal. Unfortunately, it seems the Help file needs a tweak. (or the software) The link he gives describes in fact, the General Ledger. The terminology on the title and within

Mike, There’s no copying anything to the General Ledger. The GL is simply a consolidated view of all accounts. Your transactions should be there. I just did a test with a fresh book, entered some transactions in Cash, opened the GL and the transactions were all there. I presume you are going
