Report help - Retained Earnings

last year I created a report to track specific sales during a specific time period (holiday items from 11/01 - 12/31). Everything is fairly straight forward. I put a filter in the report for the time period and the selected accounts which include an income account, its corresponding COGS account and an expense account where supplies are purchased from for those sales. I run the report and it works great. I get exactly what I wanted, a total of all of my holiday sales less my COGS, less my expenses - my profit for the season.

To do the same thing this year, I simply modified the report to change the dates to 11/01/05 to 12/31/05 and ran the report. Everything comes out the same except the first line in the report is a "retained earning" account which contains the total from the previous years report. I can not figure out how to get rid of it. Any thoughts?

There is more than one set of dates. Did you change the date paid through in addition to the regular date of report in the filters?

The report range is set ot 'custom' -- 11/01/05 to 12/31/05 Filters are for 'Account' - as listed in the original post and Date --

11/01/05 to 12/31/05 which was set by changing the dates on the first tab.

Also, in the list of accounts for the filter, 3900 - Retained Earnings is in the list but is not checked off!

In the columns options on the first tab: Display column by - Total Only Display rows by - Account List

FYI I'm Using QBPro 2003

Also, I tried to create the report from scratch -- 'Custom Summary Report' and the same still occurs.
