From: Steve on 21 Sep 2008 10:46 Mred, It worked for me fine. When you went to the actual transaction in the register and opened the posting dialog box with the CTRL Copy and added the missing date did you check the box next to it as downloaded?

I was trying to do that in the accept transactions box, not the register. I guess I misread John's instructions. I do see now how that works in the register now. Thanks -- mred

Many thanks for that, I would have never figured that one out! -- Don |
