    Trial Balance & Balance Sheet Has Letters & Symbols In Totals

    Hello

    I am having problems with Financial Reports for the Trial Balance and the Balance Sheet. The totals at the bottom of the page are showing some letters and symbols. Example is 6.23E+004.

    The statement of cash flows, transactions by account and the income statement seem to be fine.

     I restored from a backup but that didn't solve the problem.

    I tried to run the dbutil.exe but i received an error that SA error.dll was not found.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks for your help

    This is scientific notation for numbers.

    6.23E+004 actually means 62300. Not very nice looking on a financial statement, I'll give you that.

    What version of simply accounting are you using?

    Try setting your left margin to zero if it isn't already and make your font size smaller
