You probably know this, but just on the off chance that you don't: In the File ? Properties dialog, there is a setting "Day threshold for read-only transactions." If change the default 0 in that box to a number, then transactions more than that many days before today can't be edited. It would be a lot more useful if we could set a date, in my opinion, but it's better than nothing. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com https://OakRoadSystems.com thanks, Stan. If I had seen this, it was so long ago that I didn't want it. (I was entering assets from some 50 years before!) And there was no real cutoff date for that process. I just realized that it has been a long while since I had any old entries. My first thought was like someone suggested: using the first day of the current month would be great until I realized I wouldn't be able to work on yesterday's transactions on the first day of the month. Setting the day threshold to 31 will work for me as I will occasionally find a transaction in the bank that I didn't know about and have to track down who or what it was.
