Hi Rob, Well, I suppose that there's an argument for doing it either way. I use MT for my personal accounts, but also to keep a basic track of income and outgoings for a small charity. I should like to be able to take the category summary info and use it in the preparation of the end-of-year accounts for the charity. Would it be possible to have an option to select how this info was processed? Incidentally, I think that MT is probably the most useful programme I've had in ages. Thanks.

Rather, we believe that it is better to use different categories for debits and credits. In short, all values in category calculations are considered to be positive as you have discovered. This allows categories for debits to be positive. For example, your medical expenses for 2009 should appear as $400, not -$400 in the summaries. Is this the wrong way of looking at this?

The problem is that, if I have debits and credits in the same category, when I do a category summary, the figures are just added - irrespective of whether they are debits or credits. For example, if I spend £100 on electricity, and then get a refund of £20, the electricity category shows £120 not £80. I think that this would be a valuable feature, unless there's currently a way of doing this which isn't too fiddly.
