Hi Colin,

It's only my credit card entries that are the wrong way round, due to the
fact that a credit card is a Liability, not an Asset. When I pay every
month, it's by Direct Debit, so it gets paid OK. I also record it
accurately in my Bank Asset account, so it is correct in the card account
too.

In other words, it's not quite accurate to say ALL my entries are wrong,
but almost all my Tot Payment entries should be entered as Tot Charge. I'm
trying to correct this in a few clicks, not 3000+!
