I imported my data from various banks and credit card companies. None of the transactions, of course, had any categories listed so I set about to do this for reporting purposes. However, the program won't let me add categories and save the changes. What I noticed is that all the dates are in red for what that's worth. Can anyone help me resolve this issue. Really would like to get this done ASAP.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Check if the opening date of the account precedes all transactions. Edit the account to do this.
You can add categories from the ledger of an account but also from the Categories menu. The latter is probably easier; the former is more for on-the-fly changes.
You can also assign a default category to a payee in the Payees menu. That way, it will get assigned automatically every time a new transaction with this payee is entered.

Figured it out, I first had to "accept" the transaction then it would let me edit and save it.

Thanks,
Bruce
