Updating and dates of calculation

Questions:

1. When I load my old file, which worked fine before, it says my retirement date of 04/30/2007 is below allowed? I picked same date from calendar and got same message?

2. My date for Financial Information of 12/31/2007 also gives the same out of range message. I tried the calendar to pick the date and got the same msg again.

3. When I run it with existing data without changes to my data file it does not show any CPP income just OAS?

Answers:

1. It's because the program looks in the future. I know it may be an annoying feature, but the projection starts from now going forward and it has no importance. We'll look into making the date messages less annoying to users.

NOTE: We have made a change to the program. Now a date of retirement before the date of calculations is accepted.

2. Use 1/1/2008. It's the same annoying reason!

3. Being a young man, you're not collecting CPP, so enter in Financial Information an income, say $50,000, and check 'Already retired', and the program will calculate an estimate for CPP. The CPP needs earnings to calculate an estimate unless you enter a monthly amount if already in the course of payment.
