Thank you, Michael.  This worked great and from that I figured out how to 
change other areas I was struggling with.  Guess I need to do a little more 
exploring.  This program is unbelievably "full-bodied"!  I appreciate your 
help with the little details.  -  Maureen

To get the General Ledger to show transactions in a specified date range, 
open the register (using Tools—>General Register) then right-click on the 
body of the tab. Select “Filter By”, and adjust the dates accordingly.
