I've also gotten used to this, but I do remember having to read things more than once because of this when I first started using KMM and when I first started editing the manual.

Well, that's what the manual says now (always 0 for categories.) Just to be sure - with a foreign currency category, Total Value with have they amount in the value of the category and Total Balance with have it converted to your base currency? Or do I have it backwards? (I don't have any set up like this - so I'll try to add one to the test kmy file I was using for screen shots.) Thanks for the responses.
