because of my bank account problems, I have set up new currency accounts - and I want to delete the old bank accounts that we no longer use. How do I delete the nominal ledger codes? Sage wont let me do this as the accounts have transactions listed against them.

Can you help?

Thanks....

You can't do it until all transaction have been reconciled and removed using the clear audit trail option, this is not normally done except after a year end and an archive being made.

It was not a good idea to recreate the bank accounts, as this will hang around now for several years and you have to sort out the bank recs and balance transfers, yuk, a lot of work.

I would restore the last good backup, fix the problem using the sage tool and then repost data entered since.
