Attached is a BozoBuysTransaction report.  It shows what I
think you're calling the "post date on credit
card transactions" under the heading:

  done-AnyCard

What I'm calling the "charge date"(the date charge were
made) is under the heading:

  pending-AnyCard

All of the minus values under that show where the pending
charges were "posted" (IOW moved to done-AnyCard).

The done-AnyCard entries make it easy to see the
correspondence to the credit card statement.  Likewise for
the done-AnyBank.  That's why I thought you might find the
idea useful.  Of course, YMMV ;(

-regards,
Larry
