Negative Balances on Credit Cards

[Jerry K Radke]

David,

That is exactly what happened.  While getting last year's reports for
taxes, I must have inadvertently clicked on "Reverse Balanced Accounts".
Making that change got me back to my normal balances.  Then I just went
back and loaded the backup from one day ago and redid my reconcile work.
Thanks everyone.
