I attached a snip jpg. I don't know if they make it through. The transfer is
from an 'Asset' account. I did check the preferences and the 'reverse' was set
on the cc accounts. I changed that and the balance is now positive.
Thanks.
Kevin

There are a couple of possibilities. The first is that you are entering
the transaction backwards. This can happen easily if you, for example,
enter the account from the Expense account. This is why we (I?) always
recommend you enter transactions from an Asset or Liability account.
The other option is that your settings for showing reverse balances isn't
set correctly. This setting tells GnuCash to "reverse" the balance of
accounts that are "normally" negative. The default should be "Credit
Accounts", but you may have accidentally changed it.
Hope this helps,
