Why not use Save As to first put your Moneytalks file into something harmless. 
Then open that file and select and delete transactions above and below the 
range you want. Then save that file and do whatever manipulation you need to 
get the figures you want. When you are done, delete that file and leave your 
good files - your real accounts alone.

  Hi Nancy,

  I'm wondering if you can select a series of transactions by date range, let's 
say an entire year, export that to a .qif or .csv file, under the money talks 
file menu, start a new register, then import that .csv or .qif file into the 
new register and give it a name.  Then if you made sure you had the correct 
starting balance in the properties, alt+e, you might get meaningful information 
out of the register.

  Maybe the MT folks can come up with a simpler sollution, because I think 
these kinds of issues have come up before.

    Nancy,

     

    The short answer is that you can't. Any time you restrict the transactions, 
MoneyTalks provides a running balance of those transactions. What are you 
wanting to do, when you restrict by date?

    Now can anyone tell me how to use the restrict by date, and still have the 
bank balance appear.

     

    Also I'm still having trouble using the category summary with all accounts 
accept the personal account.

     

    Maybe all of you who use jaws know this command but I just learned that if 
I type the letter c on an internet page I can more quickly find the accounts 
information. It works to.

     

    Thanks for all the help.

     

    Nancy

    I keep all of my transactions from past years but when it comes time to do 
my taxes, I create a duplicate copy called 2006.mtf and then delete from it all 
transactions before and after that year. In this way I have the best of both 
worlds - searching all activity at any time for my account, but being able to 
create subsets for special purposes.
