when trying to change to next year for entry purposes, the box for next fiscal year is not in bold and does not react when I click on it
Hi Richard!
You likely have a dividing date on your file that needs to be dealt with. If you look at the bottom of your screen, in the blue bar, it probably says "Client's Copy Dividing date.......".
To remove this, go to File > Undo Accountants Copy. This will remove all restrictions so that you can add your next fiscal year.
I hope this helps!
