Did you, perhaps, mark the customer as InActive, by clicking away the
"Active" checkbox?  (same question for the invoice?)

You can click on the 'search inactive.." checkbox on the search dialog
to search for your inactive customers and invoices.

If this STILL doesn't show up -- perhaps you accidentally created
multiple data files by opening a backup file instead of your main data
file?
