Thanks - I tried that but then can only enter transactions where the units are
USD, and I really must track them in my books as units of the stock. If I have
to deal with it being show up in "Assets" section of the balance sheet as a
negative asset instead of under "liabilities" as a positive liability, then if
thats the only way I can track them internally as stock, then I'll just take
it. Thanks very much for your replies here.

Hi Bo,
I think I understand what has happened. Accounts of type stock should have an
Asset account as their parent account not
a Liability account. When you are issued stock as unpaid the Liability account
will simply be an account of type
Liability not of type Stock. A possible account tree to cover this might look
like (":" denoting a subaccount).
Assets:Investments:Brokerage:ABCCorp
Liabilities:Investments:Unpaid Stock:ABCCorp
Here Assets, Assets:Investments and Assets Investments:Brokerage will be
accounts of type Asset and ABCcorp is of type
Stock and Liabilities, Liabilities:Investments, Liabilities:Investments:Unpaid
Stock and
Liabilities:Investments:Unpaid Stock:ABCCorp are all accounts of type Liability.
The type and parent are set in the Edit Account dialog. You should be able to
change them in the dialog
A typical transaction on issues of 100 shares the stock with a face value of
$10 might look something like:
no Price Debit Credit
Assets:Investments:Brokerage:ABCCorp 100 $10 $1000
Liabilities:Investments:Unpaid Stock:ABCCorp $1000
With any luck when you have them setup like this they should then appear
correctly in the Balance Sheet. Give it a try
and let us know how you go.
David
