Robert just click "Close" and you get your way - no Period. If that were the normal case my suggestion is worthless, but most times it is that Periods have been left off & should be added. That is why such a likely need should be predicted & offered to "Accept" without going to "Stay" & adding Period(s) then "Save" again.
