I'll chime in as another user who has had the occasional issue with being unable to gracefully modify the date for a group of money flows. Last month I had a significant surgery which, shall we say, threw off my personal systems somewhat. :-, I didn't get around to allocating my money until several days after the 15th had passed - but in the interests of good housekeeping, I wanted to reflect the proper flow date. I had to correct each flow one-by-one, rather than just back- dating my entire mid-month flow set. That was annoying & tedious. :-) Perhaps not everyone is as ... detail-oriented... as I am, but it would be very handy to be able to batch-change flow dates. I'm also paid biweekly, but I simply let the money sit in the income buckets until the 1st/15th arrives and allocate it from there. The critical tracking element for me is "Am I running out of money in my expense buckets?", and with that in mind it makes little practical difference for me that I'm paid biweekly and flow bimonthly. As long as my allocations don't run out, I'm good to go. Also, even when the mid-month allocation arrives, MW doesn't seem to recognize that it's time for the mid-month allocation - it suggests that I use the month-start instead. Does MW not track what the last batch-flow was and then flip the toggle switch to the next one, or have I missed a setting somewhere that would invoke this behavior? On another even more trivial issue, I have an extended keyboard and MW doesn't seem to support the forward-delete key in many dialogs or locations. I would love to see that corrected sometime. :-) - Daren --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
