Re: [GNC] Duplicate Transactions
IMPORTANT: Open the Accounts panel and _then_ select Edit » Find. GC limits its search to the currently visible register. This is very handy if you want to search within only one account, or within the past 30 days in the case of General Ledger, but when you don't know the date or account you want to have GC search every single transaction. And as far as I know, that happens _only_ when the Accounts panel is visible when you select Edit » Find.

Look for a transaction with a really early date (you entered 2 digit year rather than 4 digit year). Or, attempt to reconcile on of the involved accounts and look for an entry with a strange date. 2) Is there a better way to make a new transaction in an account GL instead of duplicating a transaction and changing the data? I usually just start typing an entry and if the system sees one with exact same leading portion it will offer that up as an easy to accept completion. This will generally give me the additional line items (splits) and I just have to change the amounts. This also allows me to then edit the initial description (such as an order #) after I've accepted all the splits.

Re: [GNC] Duplicate Transactions
Find it by using Edit/Find. You can type the description, value, etc. You probably had a bad date and it is in some other year or month. When you find it, you can edit the date or delete if you reentered it. Find opens the transaction in a new tab, but your changes wil post to the original account as well. You can enter a new transaction by typing the info into a blank line. Gnucash will offer suggestions as you type. For instance, if you have entered a transaction for that vendor before, it will show the information here and you can accept or change the account and amount, etc. Use the tab key to advance fields as the enter key will accept the transaction and go to the next line to enter a new transaction.
