Terry, this is an ongoing issue. If I recall correctly there is - up to 
now - no way of having a "new start" after one, or two, or x years and 
start a new accounting year/period (or something) without loosing past 
records.
Though, in my opinion as well, this is not satisfactory to some of us.

Nevertheless, and even without that feature in question, KMM is by far 
the best I've ever come across!
Many thanks and compliments to all developers and helpers!

Michael
