Hello Mike Ott,

Thanks for your post. Opening balances can only be modified if the Sage 50 CA software is in history mode. See the KB below for details:

If you find that you need to re-open history mode, you'll need to contact Sage 50 Support at 1-888-522-2722 and ask for Level 2 assistance.

This is off topic....How do I post a question?  

Ok...however Puriboo's manual, which I checked today, states on page 803 that I need to wait for the Accountant's copy. The rationale is that the linked accounts are linked, so are unaccessible for journal entries. I need to use journal entries to move from 'Master' account to 'two departmental accounts' (Quantum).   My Accounts Receivable, for example, is 100% unallocated. I cannot do that for the above reasons.
