I'm not sure what you mean here. When you tab out of the description and it autofills the transaction, the next cell you get to should be the amount, so you can change the amount for the current transaction. It skips over the transfer account. IFF the transaction is a basic, 2-split transaction (and you're in basic ledger mode) then if you adjust the amount it will also also adjust the contra-account amount. HOWEVER, if it's a split transaction, or if you're in an expanded-view ledger mode then no, it will not adjust the contra amount -- you will have to edit it manually. > That said, using autofill, tab, is a much better method, just as you > say. > > I see that I have started an interesting discussion on the subject :-) Indeed, you have. > Regards > Dave W > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warl...@mit.edu PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
