Hi Steve,
Thanks for the explanation.
The zero balance dates were different so I'll just leave it alone.
It is after all a minor problem.
Thanks again!

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?:
