Eric Thank you for your input; I checked each of your suggestions and my findings are as follows...
(1) The sort order doesn't have the desired effect, so I then looked suggestion 2... (2) This appears to be exactly what I want, as long as the blank transaction appears at the bottom of the screen when the window opens and the future transactions are off-screen. However, I don't see this option in the version I'm using (2.6.21) so perhaps it's time to upgrade to version 3.5. (3) I had previously been expecting the Edit/Preferences/Scheduled Transactions "Create in Advance" /x/ days setting to do what I wanted and have tried it before, but it appears to do nothing; at least I haven't noticed any effects. I think I should upgrade to 3.5 Kind regards, Alan Eric Coates wrote > Alan > > A couple of suggestions that may help you - but note that I've found > these on my 3.5 version of GnuCash on Ubuntu, may not be the same on > 2.6.21/Windows. > > Working in the register associated with my current (checking) account: > > (1) Right clicking somewhere in the title bar (Date/Num/etc) brings up a > menu with the option of setting the sort order. > > (2) From the Edit/Preferences menu the Register option (right at the > bottom) allows for Future transactions after blank transaction which > puts the current entry line between the past and the future transactions. > > (3) On the topic of the (possible) global entry for setting when future > transactions will be shown - in the Preferences window look at the > Scheduled Transactions option.
