Hi Derek,

This is troublesome. I have nearly 3 years of data in my files and if I have 
to start changing everything around then well :/. Guess I will be stuck with 
v1.8.2 for a long while to come..

By the way, if I follow correctly now, processing a bill takes 3 steps?:
* enter the bill
* post the bill (to A/P)
* process payment

Is this right?

Regards,
