Showing Years in Dates

Problem

showing the year in the date column of Ledgers and Logs
from newsletter #16

Diagnosis

They want to see the year in MacNail accounting software files.

NOTE-- This information applies to our older software, which was replaced by Goldenseal accounting software back in 2001.

Solution

Showing the Year
The dates listed in Ledgers and Logs are formatted so they don’t show the year. To see the year on each line item, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Options menu, choose Display, and turn on Row and Column Headings.
2. Go to the Options menu again, and choose Unprotect Document.
3. Click on the entire column that has dates in it.
4. Choose Number from the Format menu, then choose a date format with a year in it (e.g. m/d/yy).
5. Go to the Options menu, and choose Protect Document. Do not type in a password!
6. If you want to hide the Row and Column headings, go to the Options menu, choose Display, and turn off that option.

This also applies to some other files in MacNail construction accounting software and other modules
