I missed that original note. As I recall, the tabs are still colored in the Windows 2.5.2 release, but the build errors have crippled it to the extent that I cannot test it, so I am back on 2.4.13. Like you, I found the response time dramatically improved, but still slower than 2.4.13. BTW*, the General Ledger only contains recent transactions in my file in both of the Windows builds 2.4.13 and 2.5.2. It seems that somewhere along the line I must have set the filter for the GL to show only transactions after 04-30-2013, although I do not recall doing that. I thought that all register filters were cleared when the file was closed, so I never checked it.. Am I wrong about that? How's that for a segue? IMHO* I think that if any register view filter is retentive, then the filter active status should appear somewhere in the window of every affected register view. I would prefer it to appear in or near the column titles, but the bottom bar near the activity indicator would also work for me. It also should be flagged visually somehow in the register tab, without adding more clutter to the tab. Perhaps a symbol (choose one, tilde, perhaps, also with contrasting background/foreground colors) next to the 'plus' that appears in tabs for accounts with sub-accounts views. Further, then each filtered view should have it's own tab in the tab bar, and multiple views of the same account should be so identified and allowed. This would, however, complicate the decision of which view to go to when a jump to account is requested. Maybe only one filtered view should be allowed, and/or a jump would default to an unfiltered view, if no filtered view is available. Currently, jumps never go to views with sub-accounts. David C * I am finally trying out some of the new vocabulary that is becoming common in emails and (shudder) text messages LOL.
