I strongly suggest checking and resetting them.

Do you mean resetting Sage? Would that delete all of the data?
Sorry I'm not a Sage expert, just helping the accountant as I'm the "IT guy"

I suggest setting them again. Set them to the wrong thing then the correct thing.

I've meant we've restored Sage only from the Parallels installation, not the whole Windows. The OS was installed fresh from the USB stick.

It's actually both the date and the amount fields that keep overwriting some sort of default values

Our accountant is having a big issue trying to enter money amount in Cash Receipt panel. The empty field has "000.00" placeholder and it's impossible to write over this text with new amount. The zeros keep overwriting the number she tries to enter.
Is there any way to turn this off?
