Consider as well, another software package entirely to handle quotes,

Then export the resulting accounting data to GnuCash to complete your books.

Hi Christopher,
Yes this is a good idea, I have inadvertently updated the wrong date on a
txn that had already been reconciled a year or 2 ago and had to go looking
for it again to fix it up. Are the existing warnings documented anywhere
in one place - will check the wiki and see if I can find
Stan,
There doesn't seem to be an option/preference to restrict txns entered
using N days before today anymore - version 4.13 of Gnucash on
Windows/MacOS - presumably it's been removed as it wasn't considered very
helpful or age has caught up with me and I'm slowly going blind :-)

If you create a bill, then entering multiple items then defaults to the
original date. However, once posted, the next thing to do is pay it. The
payment date defaults to the current date.

I think that should be "new transactions default to the same date last
Dr. Kirkby,
While I understand the requirements for not editing existing transactions, I'll
note that in your initial post, you mentioned going back to a backup and
re-entering the transaction. Not to put too much of an emphasis here, but how
does editing the date differ from opening a backup
I admit that I do not use business features. I don't know how they work.

When entering more than one transaction in a session, new transactions
default to the same date last used, so the existing shortcuts metioned in a
previous comment often work.
If it happens that you are editing multiple historical transactions, they
are likely close together as well.

Why? Can't you just edit the date on the transaction and change it.
> It would be nice
"Go to a backup file" Why? You know you can change the date on a
transaction after it has been entered, right? You can use the "+" and
"-" keys to move up and down as many days as you want. The transactions
are not permanently entered and unalterable.
About 90% or more of the transactions I
I am trying to enter some transactions from March. Every now and again I

to go back to a backup file. It would be nice when entering historical
