Previous Tax Year Color

[FLange]

Under Tools -> Options -> General -> Field Background Color, there is an option to "Show Previous Tax Year Color", a great tool to remind the user that he/she may be working on a prior year file.  However, this setting should apply to the Home Base as well.  If the Home Base were a different color, it would remind the user of the prior year software, very helpful if you have two years open.

It's a good idea to lock prior year's tax returns. This will prevent inadvertent editing.
