Thanks for your quick reply Bonnie!

The devil is in the detail hey? I did everything correct up until the credit entry, based on QB help listed below which I obtained in the search box:

 

At the end of the year when you or your accountant have calculated the depreciation amount, enter the transaction:

  1. Go to the Gear Icon tab and click Journal Entry.
  2. In the first line:
    • For Account select your depreciation expense account.
    • Under Debits list the amount of the depreciation.
  3. On the second line:
    • For Account select the asset account you are Depreciating.
    • Under Credits, list the amount of depreciation.
  4. Click Save

 

Worded slightly differently so I entered it into the wrong spot- your direction is slightly clearer I will alter now thank you!!!  So basically there needs to be deprecation account AND an accumulated deprecation account for each asset?
