Unfortunately you have not answered the question I asked, namely what
you mean by withdrawals becoming deposits.  For example was it that
the column headings changed, or the entries in the register switched
columns?  Or the sign of the amount changed from positive to negative
and vice versa?  Also did the final balance show the correct amount or
was it negated?  Did this apply to both bank accounts and credit card
accounts?

Also what checkbook option is it that you are referring to that
apparently fixed it?
