Apologies for the delay in responding - I only got to look at this  
today. I went into the Income account (Consulting Services in this  
case) and tried to adjust per your suggestion; however, as the txn  
came from a posted invoice, it won't let me adjust it. Am I missing  
the point? Or in the wrong place?

Thanks,
