Gyle, yes thank you I considered that and did set the correct start and end dates and also thought to look to the PREFERENCES of the entire program and there is a place there to also set the start and end dates and select if they are RELATIVE or ABSOLUTE, and I chose the latter. I’ll change to relative and see if it makes a difference although I don’t understand why it would. Also since I do my books “at one sitting” and block out a period of time and work straight through from Jan to Dec of usually the former year, I change the date and time on the entire computer as well, setting it back to Dec 31 of the required year.
