Scheduled Transaction Help :(

2017-08-02 Thread Steve
I'm running Windows 10, GnuCash Version 2.6.17. After using GnuCash for a number of years, I finally am getting around to using the Scheduled Transaction feature. Previously I would simply add the upcoming anticipated transactions to the account registry, and then when the date in question hit

Hi Steve, This is how I set mine up, I don't bother with the remind in advance as I'm already telling it to create the transaction and notify me when it does and I use Gnucash daily so I don't need a reminder. Your screenshot seems to indicate it thinks it's already created the transaction for 1
