Balance Sheet is not balanced

[Jenny Li]

Dear Ian,

I got desperate and more bold with only one week to submit my accounting
and solved it.

I have read that enabling trading accounts in Files>Properties>Accounts,
should resolve all of the currency conversion imbalances.
I tried enabling this option, but nothing changed. (except for newly booked
transactions, a lot changed)
To fix all of the historic entries: I ran Actions>Check and repair all.
This populated the trading accounts and resolved all the historic the
trading imbalances.

Now it was mostly fixed, up to a small error. Gut feeling suggested that
these were rounding errors.
This proved to be correct. Enabling automatic decimal point in
Edit>Preferences>General...
... Did the trick. Everything perfectly balanced in both the old balance
report and eguile balance.

Perfect! I'm over the moon.

Thank you
Jenny
