You can check in the db Jim, if you jump into the database from the
commandline.
mysql -uusername -ppassword Koha
then
SELECT * from systempreferences; 
That should show you what acquisitions is set to.

Not really im afraid :-)
If you were viewing the page from the opac you wouldnt even get modify and
delete buttons displaying.

What we really need to see, is a screen shot of the page, and/or the source
of the offending page.
That should let us spot whats going on.

Hope this is of some help
