Hi Barb,
Simply accessing the finder on the Control Account Set within editing an AP Vendor or an AR Customer will not give this message. Only if you change the existing value to something different will you get a change.
So indeed you had selected something different.
If the vendor/customer has an outstanding balance, you would have got a different message - something to the effect of you can't make that change when there are outstanding transactions.
