Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

Create a way to lock W2s after they have been sent so no accidental changes are made after filing.

We have many years worth of W2's in Vista. We have from time to time had someone go in trying to make adjustments to the current W2s but not realize they were in the prior year's W2 files. It would be nice to "lock" or have some other mechanism that prevents someone from changing data in prior years and accidentally getting them out of sync. If accidentally changed and someone needs a reprint of prior years, it opens up possibility of incorrect info being sent out years later. At very least have a protection against accidentally reinitializing a year after it has already been sent. There will need to be an occasional corrected W2 done, so understand that the data needs to be accessed. But make it so you have to get to the W2 data a different way once closed to process a correction.
