 But this is wrong and should be recalculated when changing sort order, isn't it?

If you change the sort-order in the register you will also notice the balance is "off" -- the balance is computed based on the default sort order and displayed in whatever view you have. In other words, the balance is ONLY valid in the default sort order, not any other sort order. This is true in reports as well as the register.  >  Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.  >  You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek at ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
