Hey there, @DJH47.

 

Using the latest version of QuickBooks can help your business run smoothly. 

 

We can verify and rebuild data in QuickBooks to fix the issue. Before you rebuild your company file, use the verify tool in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac to scan your file for errors or data damage. Here's how:

  1. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
  2. Select Verify Data, then click OK.

Once you've verified your data, you can now rebuild your company file to fix any errors or data damage that's found. Please follow the steps below:

     1. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.

     2. Select Rebuild Data, then click OK.

     3. QuickBooks will ask to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK. If you don’t want to do a backup, select Cancel to continue rebuilding your company file.

         • If you haven’t set up any backup preferences, QuickBooks will ask you to update them. Select Backup Preferences and edit as needed, then select OK.

         • When the backup's finished, select Show in Finder to locate the backup or select OK if you’re done.
     4. Once the rebuild's finished, select OK.

Please let me know how it goes. I'll be right here if you're still unable to edit the dates after rebuild.
