If you are working in Forms mode, you may find it useful to follow the flow of numbers on forms.
When you find a number you need to change that is in a black font, right-click the number and choose "Data Source." This will bring up a box with a hyperlink to the form where that number was sourced. If the number is still black on that form, repeat the Data Source + hyperlink to follow the number to the next form.
When you reach a number in blue, you can revise that number without creating a form error. Any form with a red exclamation point has an error. Click the Error icon above the forms list to see an explanation of that error below the form when opened in the large window.
Any number in green was imported from last year and should not be changed.
