Hi Joe,

thanks for your answer. I have downloaded the current sql file and looked at all the transactions (gl_trans) in the table for that account. None of them have a transaction with anything but two decimal places in the amount field.

I have also tried taking a backup and restoring from that backup as all the transactions in the downloaded sql file only have 2 decimal points (thinking if anything was floating around in there that should get rid of it). No change.

I am understanding from what you are saying that it could potentially be the way the values are stored internally - somewhere in there the system is identifying a 0.0000 ....00001 value and thus not recognising that the field is in fact 0.00. Not sure I can change that.

Any other suggestions? I have only ever entered fields to 2 decimal places in these particular accounts,

Two years ago I did a journal entry to transfer the balance of an asset account from one asset account to a different one. At that stage I would get an opening balance with the same value as a negative in the "period" and a zero close balance.

2014 End of year processed.

That account has not been (and will not be) used again since then. In subsequent Balance sheets that account is still displayed even though it is empty but now it is shown with a -0.00 opening balance , 0.00 in the period & a -0.00 closing balance.

2015 end of year processed.

It still shows in balance sheets. Is there a way of no longer showing this account when generating the balance sheet? It will never be used again as that asset is no longer owned. I have tried de activating the account and it makes no difference.
