In all my databases here, it does? Invoice.Date is a DateTime, which
is accurate to the second. It may be that the 2.1 client is using the
local date, rather than GetDate() to producde the date. All versions
of Emerlad 2.2 and higher use GetDate() for stamps, rather then the
local computer.

Yes.

Interesting side note, what about the MasterAccounts entry? VOIDING an
invoice changes the MasterAccounts balance field. SHould the LastModify
be updated there as well.
