Deleting empty account

[Footer]

I'm not sure why you've never used the Scheduled Transaction feature in
KMyMoney, but I find it to be one of my favorite features.  It keeps me on
track and I've never missed paying a bill!  Perhaps when an account is
created it automatically creates a Scheduled Transaction to pay the bill
when it becomes due?  I'll let the experts here answer that question.

I'm glad you figured it out!  KMyMoney is the BEST!  Very happy user since
2005.
