great. thank you. 3.3 so far so good. personally i like the look of 3.3
more, numerals are larger

2 small issues, both regarding DATE column.
- the first digit is only partially visible, e.g. 2/3/2018, the front half
of '2' is cut off.
- the first and half of second digits in NEW ENTRY are cut off

i tried enlarging the left side of window but no effect.

thanks
