The +1 was there for a reason, to make sure that it included previous instances of the book closing transaction. This is because the AsOfDate uses <, not <=, so when the closing transaction is posted at time T, if you run it again on the same date (which will give you the same T) it didn't see the existing transaction, so you'd get a second one. So, for example, if on Dec 31 you had a balance in an account of $100 and you close it then, the closing transaction would put -$100 to get a balance of zero. If you ran the book closing again, you'd get a SECOND transaction of -$100. The "+1" worked around this problem. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
