Changing default bank accounts

[Sandra Michalscheck]

We are in the process of moving our checking accounts to a different bank. The first bank was in the 1110-000 default account designation. I have numbered the new bank account 1111-000. I will be using both for several months until all the checks at the first bank have cleared. When we finally close out the first bank account, how can I change the 1111-000 over to the default for my accounts so that I don't have to plug it in every time?

Under File->Preferences->Accounting Setup, there is an option to change your default bank account. However, this will only effect any future transactions or vendors you may enter. Any existing vendor records, contribution funds, payroll items, AR items, and repeating transactions will have to be changed manually.
