Fair enough, thanks for the clarification.

On the contrary, GnuCash has *always* as far as I can recall after over 
a decade, suggested today's date for the closing date. I don't ever 
remember it suggesting a date in the past.

And when I tested this last night on an account I know I haven't 
reconciled in over a year (yes, I'm behind in duties) it suggested 
yesterday's date, not something over a year old.

Is your System date correct?
