Hi Adam
Question: Would a credit back to the credit card appear as a positive value
in this field?
If so, be careful how you handle the sign.
Any reason why you cannot just add the two fields together? With the field
being negative, this would result in a subtraction

I have a field which is a credit amount so it has the negative sign.
I have to subtract this from the Allowance account amount, to show
the user how much is left in the account. I am getting that it adds
it bec. negative minus negative. What sort of techniques are best to
use? I can simply declare it to be pos. in the first place i suppose.
