Why am I Able to Write Checks to Income Accounts

[mrm1]

Early in Dec in prep for closing the year I noticed that even thought I am balancing with my bank, My income accounts were all out of wack.

Long story short, my secretary over the months had been occasionally writing checks to income accounts, that is, when entering an account number to post the check to, she would enter an income account instead of an expense account.

Why does PC allow this to happen with not even a warning dialog box??

Is there a safty feature I can "turn on" or some other work around to prevent accidental posting of expenses to income accounts??
