Hi Adrien Thanks so much that's sorted it -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user [mailto:gnucash-user-bounces+cmaloney4=talktalk....@gnucash.org] On Behalf Of Adrien Monteleone Sent: 11 December 2017 03:04 To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: entries
Christine, Following what Michael said, with the register in question, or the main account tree open, open GnuCash preferences. (location depends on operating system; Mac, look under the GnuCash menu; Linux, try either the Tools or Edit menu; Windows, likely the Edit menu) Go to the Accounts tab in the preferences pop-up. Play with the setting for “Reverse Balanced Accounts” till the display suits your taste. (I have mine set to ‘Credit accounts’) It’s just a matter of what you ‘think’ should normally be negative or not. Use the one that works best for you. You can change it again at any time. Note, I never enter anything as a negative. (doing so just moves it to the other column anyway) I keep straight whether or not in order to ‘increase’ an account balance, I am supposed to debit or credit it. I enter everything as a positive amount. The Dr & Cr columns never show as negatives for me, only the balances do where appropriate. (which in this case is only those accounts without a ‘normal’ balance.)
