John,

You did not tell us the exact wording of the message or what version of
the program you are using or what OS your computer has.  GnuCash can be
as simple or as complicated as you want to make it, but you will not get
help with using it unless you give those details.  The clue about .99p
means nothing to me, as Americans do not use that currency.  However, I
thought that pence were not divisible, so that could be part or all of
your problem.  Perhaps a user familiar with your currency could help.
