Do you guys know that the 10-keypad + and - keys will run the date
forward and backward 1 day at a time when the focus is on the date,
which is where it is when you enter the account and after posting an
entry???? Don't ever try to type in each entry's date in the full
mm/dd/yy format each time. Just roll it back and forth with these
keys. You should always be able to get to the correct date that way.
Then tab forward into the next field you need to enter...
Holding the keys down will continue to roll the date. My machine will
move 30 days back in just a short time, faster than I can get the
entire mm/dd/yy characters typed in....
... Death before Political Correctness.
