Rob,

This doesn't explain the question though. Go through the steps below with a
base date of Oct. 2, 2006, and make it quarterly, with weekend postings set
to previous, meaning Fridays. Project at least through October, 31, 2010. My original
example projected through December 31, 2012.

Notice that it posts on the 4th of January, 2010. The money talks F10 keys
says that is a Monday. The 2nd of January is a Saturday, and with the weekend
action set to previous. It should have projected on Friday, January 1,
2010 in this instance. You still would honor the quarterly periodicity from
October, to January, to April to July, and back to October again. Nevertheless, it posted on a Monday, dishonoring the previous weekday check box. Posting on Friday would not have moved the posting to the end of the previous month.

For that matter, check out the posting on Monday, October 4, 2010, which the
F10 key says is a Monday. The 1st of October is then a Friday, and the
program should have honored the previous weekday setting, since it wouldn't
violate the quarterly periodicity above. This is exactly the same as the Jan. 4 2010 situation.

I understand the need to use October 1 as a base date to cause January 1
postings.  That isn't the issue here.
Rather, it is why isn't the program honoring the previous weekday setting
while projecting when use of that Friday date would not violate the required
quarterly periodicity?

Is the 4th of January 2010 and the 4th of October 2010 a Monday?  If it is,
I think there is a problem here.  Is something going wrong in handling leap
years?

Steve:

You almost have it. Now, understand that your preferred day is the
second. In other words, to get it to post on Friday 1/1/12, you would
have to set the original transaction date to 10/1/06.

Hi rob,

Please clarify this for me if you will.

Set up a recurring transaction with the start date of October 2 2006.
Make it quarterly, set weekend action to previous.
Project through 2012, for instance.
Notice it recurs on Monday, January 4, 2010. Should this not be
Friday,
January 1, 2010. The quarterly months represented are always October,
January, April, and July. January 1 would not violate this quarterly
procession and would respect the previous weekday setting. Was
something
done to not allow the Jan. 1 posting because it's a bank holiday?

I've tried to work this situation from the other end of the month, in
otherwords to duplicate this in reverse, but can't find a date that
will
show this in reverse.

Thanks in advance.

Steve
