QB Basic 2005 - Problem STMTCHG entries don't show up on P&L Reports filtered by MEMO field (Invoices work fine)

I am using QB Basic 2005 for some very simple book keeping for my rental
properties. I use classes to separate individual properties, and I use
a notation in the memo field to distinguish individual units within a
property (HR #01, HR #2, ... at the beginning of the memo field). My
goal is to be able to get a P&L filtered by property (class) to see the
entire property performance, and then to filter by unit (memo
notation)to see what is going on with each individual unit.

I was using statements for billing rents earlier and then changed to
using invoices in the middle of 2008. Both have my "HR #??" kind of
notation in the memo field. I recently tried to do a Profit and Loss
report on 2008 filtered on the memo field and to my surprise nothing
billed using a statement shows up in the report, but everything using
invoices is there just fine.

I went back and did a quick report of my accounts receivable filtered by
the memo field and everything is there perfectly. If I do a quick
report on the rental income account then the statements disappear. If I
don't filter then they are all there and the memo on the quick report
shows my memo notation perfectly.

What is going on here?
Is there any way to fix this?
Is this the behavior I would see on the 2009 version of QB?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
