bank entries

[Ken Pyzik]

Christine -- without seeing the entry it is difficult to determine why is it
doing what you say it is.  As a matter of principle, you must remember that
there must be a corresponding "other-side" to your deposit entry.   While
this may seem counter-intuitive, your deposit to your bank account needs to
have a corresponding (and opposite) entry to another account.   The way I
have mine is I have my bank account (account type BANK) and another account
called Income-deposits (account type INCOME).  When I make a deposit to my
bank account the "transfer account" (or other side of the entry) is to the
income account.    You will notice that the deposit to a BANK type account
will be on the "left side" (thus increasing the balance of the bank account)
and the entry will be on the "right side" of the income-deposits account
which will be income and thus increase the value of this account.  

So it is very much dependent upon how you have setup your accounts.  

Hope that makes sense.
