Re: Asset Accounts

Well that's good to know. It means I need to delete the foreign 
currency transactions from my credit card account and manually re-enter 
them in the respective foreign currency asset account. Actually, I'll 
just re-export the transactions from NeatWorks and re-import them in 
Moneydance, but into the correct asset account.

Thanks for investigating the issue.
