This is for Lynn please. Regarding my previous post about Fiscal Year End/Retained Earnings Post that you helped me with  
 
I ran GLEREDO, as you said.  What I feared would happen, did in fact happen.  
 
My balance sheet still does not balance. Only it's worse, because when the old one didn't balance, I could pinpoint the exact entry and amount.  Running GLEREDO didn't fix the problem.  It made it worse.  Now it is like a needle in a haystack to me.  
 
The GL Transactions for those YE Entries are now "in balance".  Before this utility, it was out of balance by the exact amount I was off on my balance sheet and my FYE Entries.  What in the world am I supposed to do now?  My boss has been after me to get him the balance sheet and this has made it even more late.  I need to get my year end process rolling.

Lynn, see the problem is;  all of my journals balance now.  Up to two years past.  Can't find where it's off now.  Prior to doing this, it was at least part of the YE entries for the most current FYE.
 
So, to summarize:  The Balance Sheet is off, the journals are not.  I ran it for all journals, for the last two fiscal year ends.
 
HELP

You had me excited there a second.....
 
 
No, the accounts on the balance sheet match the chart of accounts exactly.  Triple checked.  
 

Can you tell me why running what you had me run drastically changed everything?  I'm afraid to run another utility.  Those years have been closed.

Here is the verdict on all journals:
 
FY 11/01/01 - 10/31/02 is now:
 
(dr) 4,518,141.05  (cr) 4,518,569.11; NET:  (428.06)
 
FY 11/01/02 - 10/31/03 is now:
 
(dr) 11,709,614.82  (cr) 11,708,323.49; NET 1291.33
 
The net of these two amounts, $863.27 is the amount my GL is off.
 
It appears that the utility I ran affected my first two DBA years - the FYs subsequent to 10/03 journals balance.  How to fix a four year old error?  What is the purpose of running UT-K-D, I mean what will that impact?  I'm afraid it will send me on another odyssey - not fix the problem.

UT-A, program EDITGL can be used to fix the entries.  Then UT-K-D and then you may need to run GLEREDO again.

UT-K-D recalculates all the monthly totals you see in GL-A for each account based on the detail transactions.
 
GLEREDO deletes all the YE closing entries to Retained Earnings and then recalculates new ones.

My GL was a mess so I ran these programs
 
do they only work in classic ?
 
I ran Gl-K-D and GLEREDO
 
im not sure what it did but the account was happy

Thank you Shadowcaster, that is encouraging.  It didn't affect your prior year financials?

Hello again.  The epic battle between Beginning balances and Balance Sheets is still going.  Beg. Balances is winning (not good).
 
I ran UT-K-D and then GLEREDO, and the balance sheet is still off by the two amounts from when we converted to DBA.  
 
How exactly do I fix these two in EDITGL?  The first one, $1291.33,  is an entry to bring GL into balance because something was wrong when we converted.  
 
The second item, (428.06), is the NET of a large BEG BAL entry done when we transferred our GL to DBA.  There is no one entry for the $428.06 so I don't have a clue how this would be fixed.  
 
If we do come up with a way to fix this in EDITGL, what posting date would we use?  Same as the original entry?
