Oh, rats! I guess I will have to reconsider how I have started using the 
jobs. I expect I will make errors similar to this and my intended use of 
active / inactive does not seem to coincide with valid / invalid. I was 
thinking more along the lines of complete and paid is inactive but still 
something I would want to see at times. Also, I know I will want to be 
able to change the customer billed for a project. I will have to give 
this some thought.

Thanks.
