Thanks, Derek.

Use I clicked on the post.  I can see it when I navigate to the Balance 
Sheet.  Just curious.  Would it show in the Balance Sheet if it weren't 
posted.  It shows the total assets as that receivable and the amount 
posted to the checking account.

I believe the "Report Options" is a clue.  I don't know how to get to 
that feature to select the invoice.  This is why I gave the invoice 
number because I felt that I was missing how to select it.

I'm sure it'll turn out to be something extremely simple that I'm over 
looking.
