To start a new year with OoAccounting 2.0 simply start a new file. Save your current file under a new name e.g. 2011_Accounting. Your previous year's transactions and monthly reports are preserved in the old file. In the new file, select (highlight)the previous transactions (date, account, memo, debit, credit and memo) and delete using the backspace. Next type in your opening balances for the new year in the designated section of the Data sheet (with month = zero). Then enter your transactions as before, beginning from Jan 1st.

The problem has been solved. Ignore the quick fix below. Just remove some offending account name samples from Rows 500-562 of the Data Sheet. Here is a quick fix that will only work if you have selected the same month in the Balance_Sheet and the Profit_Loss Sheet: Balance_Sheet.D41 =income_month-expense_month Balance_Sheet.D41 =income_year-expense_year

Hello I have been using Accounting 2.0 for a couple of months now and have been satisfied. I ran into a bug yesterday though and was wondering if you have a solution. I started entering data into the "Data" section as normal for the calendar year 2011. When I go to look at the p&l and the balance sheet it thinks that it is 01/2010. I say this because the reports display the same thing regardless of the date settings. 01/2010 shows the same thing as 01/2011 on the balance sheet anyway. What is supposed to happen at the end of the year? Am I supposed to start a new file with a new data sheet? How do I carry over the balances from last year? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! John
