Hi, I currently use GL 8.0D. I am trying to decide how to start inputting my next years budget data. I am currently working in Fiscal 06/07 with a year end of Oct 31, 2007 however I have to start working on next years budget (fiscal 07/08) for the period Nov 1, 2007 - Oct 31, 2008. Just wondering what you suggest might be the best way to accomplish this. I had thought maybe I could set up a test company to enter it, and then when I roll my year end, copy the data over. I want to be able to utilize my reports in report writer to start producing budget reports for management. I'd like to do this in the easiest way, but also realize that I may have to consider how GL 9.0 may affect this as well if I decide to proceed with this upgrade / new version. I'm wondering whether version 8.1A which I assume I'll be getting fairly promptly will have the capability to set next year up in advance. I thought I had heard something about this new capability (ie. soft close??) with some of the newer versions. Hope this makes sense. Thanks - Sue
