Customer opening balance?

[PaulaJ9874 at aol.com]

Hi, Derek
 
thanks for your reply, I have discovered it was an incorrect date entered  
(the year 213!) when i first created the invoice in question.  I can see  
it's going to take me some time to get my head around this.

I'm honestly not sure what you're seeing  here.  by "balance" entry do
you mean "Opening Balance"?  Or do  you mean "Imbalance-<CUR>"?  Or do
you mean something  else?

Can you open some of your backup files to figure out when  this
transaction got created, and maybe by that remember how you created  it?
