Ronda, I hope your Macbook can be resurrected. Yes I very carefully chose to archive all transactions before said date. They all disappeared from the current filed but the archive files show only scattered transactions. The summaries of the accounts show a balance but when you view there's nothing there..or only only a few transactions. It's weird.
I'm a bit shattered to tell you the truth. I'm sure I checked before but they seem to have disappeared.
