When I started using GNC, about 5 or 6 years ago, I had 2 surprises: 1) I didn't have to enter the earliest transactions first as I was trying to find the old transactions for the assets/liabilities while I was entering daily transactions. And 2) that I could edit entered transactions. I grew up in the pen and paper era so that editing an entry was a no-no but, since my current effort was not for other people, it was great as Idon't make mistreaks! Yeah! Right! (For those of you, myself included, that didn't catch the irony of that remark. I do make many mistakes.) The idea of freezing a transaction at some point is an idea that would be appreciated, even by a user like me. Just before I retired, There have been times that I accidentally changed a transaction that I didn't intend to. I found that (some of) the commercial programs could allow someone to change transactions - at least by a supervisor. I retired because 1) I didn't want to learn a system that did not use account numbers and 2) I was confused by having as many as five different accounts with the same name - one in each of the top-level accounts. Thank you guys for all you have done with this program. Bruce Preach the Gospel wherever you go.
