pdirect,
Setting an opportunity as "Closed Won" or "Closed Lost" should close the opportunity. On the Opportunities screen if you change the Filter By View for the grid to "All closed Opportunities" is anything displayed there? Also are you clicking the Refresh Charts button on the Sales Center Dashboard Screen?
