If you want a snapshot of the 2007 budget you have to save it as such and start a new one. But the only way to have a true static archive is to export the 2007 Annual Budget report to Excel as CSV. If you save 2007 and create 2008, then reopen 2007, current scheduled bills are reflected in the budget open at that moment. You can't change that. Attempting to work around it diminishes the value of scheduled bills. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

| Budgeting for next year I used the Advanced Budget for all of 2007. After examining income and expense history I want to change some of the budgeted amounts for 2008. If I change some of the fixed monthly amounts it will effect the results of my 2007 budget. Should I create a new budget for 2008 or just keep going? |
