<p>With regard to changing the amount of multiple transactions in
one action please take a look at the free find and replace
extension. To add this extension select
<strong>Extensions->Add...</strong> select <strong>from the
internet</strong>, select <strong>Find and replace</strong></p>
<p>With regard to changing the value associated with an asset as
time passes have you considered using an investment account and a
security that represents the asset. You could them purchase one
share of the security at the purchase price of the asset and then
you can change the value of the security as you please by selecting
Tools->Edit Securities.</p>
<p>Sincerely<br>

and it works great at searching and replacing. It doesn't calculate
the depreciation however, leaving me to pull out a calculator and
do that manually, which was the whole point of my post above. I'm
sure I'm not the only user that has purchased a car using a car
loan, sold it some time later and bought another car with yet
another loan.</p>
<p>This is a common occurrence we're talking about, MD needs to be
able to handle it in a way that doesn't require a degree in
accounting to understand. Speaking of which, I have no experience
with investment accounts and securities, so I'm sorry, I don't even
know where to start with that part of your suggestion.</p></div>dave
