Oh, so you can. There you go. As long as this ability won't be stoped by your changes (I'm assuming that protecting the cells will only stop the user from entering values in those cells, and won't stop the program from swapping them), this is fine. I must say I think I'd prefer that gnucash didn't automaticaly swap the value into the other cell, but if I remember correctly this is because there is not really two values, just two cells on the screen and the appropriate one is picked depending on whether the value is negative or not? This may be an issue (but then again, Derek may have already dealt with this.....).
