[GNC] POSTING SELL OF STOCK AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATING WRONG NUMBER

Greetings:

 

When I enter a stock SELL, the split is AUTOMATICALLY changing my entry for
the TRADING account (by adding $1.00) and also the CURRENCY account (also by
adding $1.00).  Since the TRADING account entry represents the cost basis of
the stock, adding a dollar not only does not agree with the BUY entry, but
it throws off my trial balance by the same dollar.   No matter how many
times I enter it (even from scratch) something is automatically changing the
value.    

 

I seem to remember there is a setting to prevent the software from AUTO
calculating anything in the stock sale.but I CANNOT find it.  Also..it was
fine before I updated my version so I am guessing I have unset or changed a
setting as part of the update process.  However..I NEED it to not
auto-calculate.   CAN ANYONE HELP?

 

Thank you!!!
