You know you can open the categories list in Moneydance, click or double-click on the category, and review the activity? Access is through “Tools|Edit Categories” or from the Accounts pull down icon (upper left house and assuming checked option “File | Preferences | General | Show All Accounts in Popup”). I occasionally edit them directly for work arounds, though the help file discourages it.

It hasn't crashed on me since then. For whatever reason, I can't reproduce it, which I'm okay with. Wish I'd sent in a crash dump when it had crashed. Now I'll never know. It's worth the $20 or whatever it was. It'll take a while to get used to not having true accounts, though. I miss being able to hop into one of my expense accounts and poke around. In Moneydance you're at the mercy of the find dialog to bring up relevant expense transactions instead. There's no equivalent way to view your expense accounts as Gnucash presents them. Categories have more in common with tagging than with accounts. Good luck! I’m still using Moneydance. It hasn’t crashed on me since then.

I'm in a similar situation. I've been using gnucash for a while but it's missing some key reporting features so I'm considering checking out MD. Are you still with it? Did you get those crashing problem sorted out? If you're aren't with MD now, what are you with? Stu Hi Jason,
