Date oddity when using stock options

I entered some employee stock options to track in Quicken Deluxe 2005.
The expiration dates go out as far as 2009. These expiration dates are
entered as a transaction in Quicken when you set up a stock option. Now
when I open any graph and select "Show all dates" the right end of the
time scale is at 2009 and not the current date. Is there any way to make
these expiration dates be hidden? I found one way to fix this is to
deselect the option account when I create the graph. I was hoping to
find a more elegant solution than that.

That's what the "Show all dates" named range is for: to show
every transaction, no matter what its date.

You didn't make completely clear just what dates you would want
included. Try the named date range, "Earliest to date" for
starters.

After I posted I tried "earliest to date". That really accomplishes
what I want to do. Thanks.
