Ok.  What I am suggesting is that you go back to the original formulation and assess the  normality issue by looking at residuals, not at the dependent variable.  The residual histogram and the other plots available from the regression, particularly residuals vs fitted values, would be the place to start.

Hi Jon

Thanks for that. On logistic - yes I am aware of the need for  a dichotmous
Dv and recoded the DV appropriately to get that, when I was exploring the
option of logistic regression,

However what I am interested in is how, in multiple linear regression,  to
interpret the beta of IVs when the DV (continous)  has been transformed
through reflection and SQRT.

Thank you
