That sounds like you have an SX to autocreate. Perhaps turn that off and it won't fire.

Otherwise, perhaps turn off the preference to execute the Since Last Run dialog on startup. You can still run it manually to fire any pending SXs, but otherwise, not have it bother you if you just want to pop in and out to check a balance.

Another option (which I use for other reasons) is to simply leave GnuCash open 24/7. That lets me see and do whatever I want, and I just run the SLR periodically to fire my SXs. (Oddly, there is no 'watcher' that fires them when the system date should otherwise trigger them)

Adrien

I've found the "Prompt for value" option with SXes to be downright annoying.

I go to Gnucash to check the balances in a savings account, and the SX dialog 
pops up asking me for a dollar amount for my electric bill (and won't seem to 
let me just click past). Inevitably, I just put in any old number-- defeating 
the whole purpose of that feature.

So, I've opted to have balanced transactions that may be off, which I correct 
when I reconcile the account. But then, I had to change some figures in one 
complex SX, and it didn't supply the balancing split.
