I don't think that I was sufficiently clear about the problem that I'm having with Dollars and Sense. I'm running version 4.1c, and I've just closed last year with the Close Year command. As several people pointed out, last years transactions are still available to me. However, as near as I can determine, there is no way for me to produce reports and graphs based on last years transactions. Is this really true? The manual should warn the users about this! Does anyone know if it is possible to produce reports and graphs based on last years transactions. If you haven't closed last year yet, beware! Print your reports before doing so.

You do end up with a second column or second set of bars for this year's data, but the info is there. If anyone finds a better way, please post it. PS. Despite problems like this, I do like Dollars & Sense 4.1c. I find the 'Descriptors' and the hierarchical accounts are particularly useful. -- Chris Capener capener@MIPS.COM MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. {ames,decwrl,prls}!mips!capener 930 Arques Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94086-3650

I have finally gone through the close last year in Dollars & Sense 4.1c and I find there is no problem with getting last year's reports. I click in the annual radio button (it's already preselected, but with this year's totals). This brings up a select box listing 1988 and 1989. Select 1988, and you're ready to go. Now if only I could get account contribution to total to do the same thing, I would be happy!
