What's probably happening is that the actual posting journal file was not reset to 0 bytes, but a flag within the program was reset. This is fairly easy to resolve.

What you need to do is first verify which posting journal(s) that year end is expecting to have cleared. Then, rename the associated posting journal file in your data directory. Then Year End should be able to proceed. If you are uneasy about renaming files, do a complete backup of your data before beginning.

The posting journal files have a format of XXpostY, where XX is the program and Y is the type of posted transaction. For example, ARpostI is the AR Posted Invoices journal. It should be zero bytes in size if you look at the data files in Windows Explorer, and if it is not, rename the file extension to 'old' or something other than your usual data extension.
