Just a thought/idea, not specifically for this issue that I believe I read in this NG: Enter each accounts opening balance as a *comment* in each of the account registers so you can readily see if it has been changed due to issues like this. (Might need to redo this if one does any sort of year end copy or pruning). I thought that was a kewl idea. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew
