files to ensure that you do not confuse them with your 
regular data files. Do not use them again.

If you change to cash-basis accounting, then find that you must 
enter an accrual-basis transaction, ensure that the transaction has 
a date earlier than the Cash Accounting date (the date on which 
you started using cash-basis accounting, as set in the System
