Thanks for the reply.

Do you know what QB version I would need to also be able to sub-categorise Personal transactions?

Should you have any additional questions, please let me know. I'd be more than willing to lend you a hand. Have a good one.

I have this problem too. I want to separate types of income instead of everything just being Income. QBSE really needs a couple more options.
