If yes, how to do it? What relationship would Account have to itself?

    Leah,

    Please stop reiterating the same answers I provide.  It's getting annoying as it is very insulting.

    Thank you.

    Hi Katie,

    Of course. You can create a lookup field of same entity and display it in the form.

    Here are steps:

    1.Go Settings > Customizations > Customize the system > Entities > Account > 1:N relationships.

    Well, technically you can do it, but I'm really curious WHY you would want to?  OOTB the Account table/entity has a parent/child relationship already, so why add another?
