[Kmymoney] Archive or delete?

[Thomas Baumgart]

Hi,

yes, that is the way to go. It must be in the version you use, since we added 
it in Nov. 2009.  Once you have that option turned on, you can use "View/Show 
all account" or Ctrl-Shift-A in the accounts view to temporarily overrule the 
option.

Hope that helps.

Thomas
