- A question... in the 3 years you have used PHASAR have you been making a
- NEW register file each year? Or are you still using one you created in
- 1993?
-
- Future years usually appears if you try to post a transaction with a date
- past the year in which the register was created. If you haven't been
- making a new one each year you should. Back up phasar.reg and choose the
- item "New Year Carryover" under the Setup menu.
-
- The warning about coming close to the maximum number of transactions
- (xacts) is because PHASAR lays wout the file ahead of time and fills in
- data later. (Notice that even at the beginning of the year the file is
- about as big as it will ever be.) So as not to waste space you define
- the maximum number of transactions that you think are likely to appear in
- any one month (or Previous Year or Future Year). This can be changed.
- Back up phasar.reg and choose the "Change Limits" item under the Setup
- menu. The first line should be the one defining the max. no. of xacts. If
- you're approaching 250/mo bump it up to say 300.
-
- As far as your specific warning: perhaps you only forgot to make a new
- file for -THIS- year (96). That's the only reason I can think of for
- having about 250 transactions in the Future Year catagory. There would
- have been a lot more if the file was years old!
-
- Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.
