In regards to pro-rating.  How does this work for a budget that has a mix of 
annual, monthly, etc.  The report that comes out seems to use the worst case 
and I'm uncertain how the toolbar view works.  I assume it's working it's way 
thorough January right now,  what will happen once I enter February?  Will it 
reset for the month even thought some of my budget items are longer than 
that?

I think updating the budget report to have a date range as opposed to an  "up 
to" date might allow better reporting.  Any thoughts?
