population

[Christine Maloney]

13/01/1899 is the exact date. I have downloaded a later version, 2017 and it
is still doing the same. The date range is amended correctly but the report
still does not show it.

Hmm. That's interesting. We don't use the Windows date library at all, so I
don't understand how that could be leaking in to GnuCash, but it's a better
explanation than anything else I can think of.

Christine, what is the *exact* date on the report?
