i cleared the browser cache and no change. here is the interesting part. from the reports menu if i select statement of activity comparison report it uses the 'this year to date' range as the initial default report period and produces the report just fine with two data columns, this ytd and prior ytd. now if i go up and change the date selection to anything else, such as this year, and run the report it only has one dat column on the report which is this year's data. there is no prior year column. ok so now i go back and change the date period to 'this year to date' , which was the same date period as the initial default, it only produces a report with one column of this year's data. there is no prior year data column. any report i run after the initial report only shows a single column of this year's data. it does not show the second column of the prior years data.
