I think it has to do with how you run the Invoice Report. Unfortunately, it should work the same regardless of how you get there, but it does not. (there are several 'entry points' to getting a printed invoice, and they don't all work the same) There is at least one if not two other recent

Adrien, Here is what I have found out.  Each time the program is closed it adds that date and time to the name of the file.  How can this be stopped? I can change the name of the file so that there is only one date for the file name and bring it up with all of the transactions in the file.
