Saving the chart of account is like doing a save
without all the transactions. If you add to this
saving the closing balances as opening balances
you have what is required.
You could then save the current state to filename+period and
set it read only.
Save without transactions and closing ballances as opening
as filename.
Then load this file.
How does this sound?
Would it be difficult to make the above changes?

Chris
