Re: BillMax questions -- make_statements re-generating statements?

[Chris Snyder <casnyder@pennswoods.net>]

There is an option, I think, to tell make_statements to cerate
statements through the current date.

The default is to make statements up to the day prior to the current
date.

I don't recall the command line switch off the top of my head, but the
documentation on the utilities is usually quite good.

Best of luck,
Chris
