Sharing a Data File WAS:Re: How do I remove an entry from the aging receivables report

[David T.]

I'm not sure the question got answered here. To change the dates on any report, first run the report and then click on the Options button. The dialog that pops up will have a tab for the date range, which you will adjust on an as-needed basis. So, yes, you would set it manually each time you run the report--unless you add the report (with its date settings) as a custom report.

HTH,
David

If you don't tell the computer for what dates you want the report run, 
how could the computer "know". They can't read your mind.

SOMETIMES you can use a default date setting like "from start of current 
year till now" and if each time (during the year) that is what you want 
for the date range of that report, works fine. But you have to 
understand that would give you a different date range if you were 
running the full year report the night of Dec 31st before midnight vs 
after midnight. Best never to have a mysterious problem from something 
like that so it is safest to always explicitly set the dates (and then 
you KNOW what you will be getting).
