Problem: I am doing an optimize and I get an error message that I have a transaction dated outside the current year.
Solution: This may be normal under some circumstances.
When this company was created the program asked if you wanted to copy data from an existing company. You said yes.
When the program asked if you wanted to copy unreconcilled items you again said yes. So any transaction that had not been cleared off when you did reconcilliation should be copied into the next year, otherwise you won't be able to do an accurate bank reconcilliation.
Keep hitting enter until the message goes away (you may want to leave your finger on the enter key). The transactions will now show up on the first day of the year, but will not effect either the income/expense detail report or the profit and loss reports.
