Sorry, trying again (and I have NOT been drinking...) Highlight your top level Credit Card. Now, go to the top of the screen and choose "Edit". You will get a pop up where you can enter Liabilities as the Parent account for Credit Card. Done. On Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 2:38 PM Phyllis Bruce

Also, do you really need to import data from Quickbooks? I used Quicken, not Quickbooks, but (by and large), I just started up GnuCash afresh and went back to Quicken only when I needed to look things up. Now that I'm years into GnuCash, I have had no need to go back to Quicken. On Wed, Jan

Xe Roy, David T. method is correct and best, but if you have already crested Liabilities:Credit Cards:Visa, you can also find the account in the Chart of Accounts page and select delete. Gnucash will ask what account you want to move the transactions to and you can select the new account.

Assuming you have the Liabilities and Credit Cards accounts created, it's simple.  From the Chart of Accounts page, select the account you want to move (e.g., Visa) click the edit button, locate the Parent Account, change it to Liabilities:Credit Cards, and click Save. Done. ⁣David T. ​ On
