Colin, I've attached a screen shot. Everything is fine through the transaction dated 2/25/2017 that I entered a year ago. Today I wanted to pick up with the first transaction of the new fiscal year which was a cash payment of $1,550 dated 3/3/2017 that was split between $1,500 for salary and $50 for expenses. I believe the way it's shown on the screen is the way it should look. The problem is, if I hit Enter (either by hitting the key or clicking on the menu), the transaction is no longer there - or anywhere else on the whole ledger - but if I start to input it again, it all comes back, properly split.
