Hi Kitty
Jumping into this "discussion" as a VAR (non-Softrak affiliated consultant), I would much rather Softrak spend its scarce development resources solving issues that have no workaround, rather than one such as this for which there is a readily available solution (although it costs money).
And just so you know, there is only one bucket of "period" statistics, so as soon as you perform period end twice in a row at the correct cutoff, the period-to-date statistics are accurate.
