I am knew to using CVBJ, so am hoping someone can advise me on a persistent problem I am experiencing.

I set up a custom set of strategy tables based on the Blackjack Apprentice tables. I called my custom tables "BJA". I set a index surrender rule for 15 vs dealer 10 where Surrender >= 0 should require surrender. Each time I play, when I have a negative running count, I get an error if I hit. When I look at the strategy table, it always shows the red background Surrender selected for this play. When I setup my custom table, I always select the light blue "Surrender >= Value" rule and enter 0.

Any help would be appreciated.
