[GNC] Issues

[Adrien Monteleone]

Greg, 2.4.x was a very old release. Did you properly go through the 
version by version upgrade on both machines, or did you just jump from 
2.4.13 to 5.3?

And what do you mean exactly by 'display accounts on the page'? Can he 
not open more than 4 register tabs? (so 5 tabs total including the 
ever-present 'Accounts' tab) Maybe a screenshot here will help clarify. 
Obfuscate any sensitive numbers/info of course.

As for the negative numbers issue:

That preference is for the Accounts Tab & various Register Tabs.

Reports have their own separate display controls via Style Sheets.

Unless otherwise specified, all reports use the 'Default' style sheet.

You can set a custom style sheet via Options, or else edit the default 
style sheet via Edit > Style Sheets.

 From there, select 'Default' and click the Edit button. You'll see on 
the Fonts tab an option for 'Negative numbers in red' that you can 
un-select.

Click 'Apply', Then reload the report. Future reports should behave 
accordingly.

Regards,
Adrien
