Not sure if this got through or if it's gotten lost.  So a resend.

Still need some help to figure out why the balance sheet doesn't balance
anymore.

Thanks in advance.

I checked each account manually and there are no transactions on Mar 12
or 13.  I also ran a transaction report selecting all accounts for Mar
2012. The report shows the closest transactions are Mar 4 and Mar 21.
The price editor has price info on Feb 29 {xfer-dialog 1.022} and Mar 26
{user:price-editor 0.9894}.  The balance sheet on Mar 13 should use the
1.022 exchange rate too. (??)

So, I'm as sure as I can be that there are no transactions or price
changes.

I'm assuming there must be a corruption in the file or a bug in the
program.  What do you suggest to try next?

Just a wild thought here ... Mar 13 is exactly 1/2 way between Feb. 29
and Mar 26.  Is it possible that the program is adjusting/averaging the
difference in the dates to determine the currency rate even when I've
selected "Nearest In Time" on the report?  If yes or no, the balance
sheet should still balance.
