Re: the "don't change what I enter" box I have seen that but I've been afraid to check it because there are lots of things that I am happy to have the program prompt me about; for instance, dates entered erroneously or perhaps alpha characters in a date field. I was afraid that if I checked that box, I wouldn't get any reminders at all; the only one I don't like is the one about putting a period after an initial.
