Because of some internal problems, we may have to close out our current checking account and open a new one. I'm imagining all kinds of problems if we do this. Tell me I'm wrong. I need to keep the original account open to clear outstanding checks. How can I start using a new checking account with the least amount of problems? (AM)

You can set up the new checking account in the chart of accounts screen then specify it as the "Checking Account" in Maintain > Disbursement and JIB Options > Accounts tab. Everything from now on will post to the new account. When you reconcile the old account you will just have to change the account at the top of the screen to be the account that you are reconciling. (Version 5)

You can set up the new checking account in the Edit > Preferences screen. Everything from now on will post to the new account. When you reconcile the old account you will just have to change the account at the top of the screen to be the account that you are reconciling. (Version 6)
