Hi John,
The sound is there because at the time of your transaction the balance went
below zero. The sound is an audio indicator of the fact. It really is
quite normal for this condition.
Now, if the date of your positive transaction is the same as that of the
transaction which caused you to go negative, then you can place the credit
above the negative transaction thereby removing the sound. To do this,
position yourself on the transaction above the positive one, and use the
swap command, F2. Remember this swap command will only work on transactions
of the same date. Pressing the F2 key while highlighting a given
transaction will swap it with the transaction below it. You can read about
the swap command in the docs.
Alternatively, you can change the dates on your ttransactions such that the
end result will be a correct balance, but the actual pattern of transactions
is incorrect. This may prove to be difficult, depending on the complexity
of your account, and it will give a false reading of the times of deposits
and debits. I happend to have about four transactions in a personal
checking account which are showing negative balances. In my case, it was
because when I starting using money talks, I entered old transaction from
bank statements to give a little bit of a past history, and found that I
couldn't find all the past credits to balance out the debits correctly. No
matter what I did, I couldn't make it balance correctly at the end, short of
letting things be as they are. I'm thinking I could have adjusted the
starting balance in the properties section or enter false credits, but I
didn't want to bother with all that.
You might want to check the check box, "Insert Credits before Debits", under
Options, Settings. This way, when ever you enter credits and debits with
the same date, the credits will automatically appear above the debits in
your register. This way you can minimize the use of the swap command.
Hope this is of some help.
Steve

Subject: [moneytalks] low balance
Hi,
This past week my balance went into negative numbers and below the zero
balance in my checking.
I got the sound associated with this situation.
Later in the week, When I entered my pay check into moneytalks the balance
moved well into the positive number range.
However, I still get the below 0 balance on the two items which caused my
balance to go below zero.
Is this correct behavior? I would think that now that I am back above zero
the sound associated with the negative items would go away.
If not, is there a way to get rid of the sound now that I am above the
zero balance?:
John
