As the originator of this thread, I apologise for my message silence over the last 11 days while I've been away, but I'd like to thank Adrien, David, Colin and Derek for their much appreciated contributions during that time.
I've recently realised that I made a mistake in saying that I'd previously set the global "Create in advance" to 14 days when I'd actually set the "Remind in advance" feature instead, so I apologise for that error. I have to admit that I don't understand why anyone would actually want to CREATE transactions in advance because they affect the account balances, which is not something I want to do. For me, it is just a case of wanting to have advance warning of future transactions so that I can respond in a way that avoids suddenly becoming overdrawn. I find that the "Remind in advance" feature is not much help because it only appears in the "Since last run" window, as far as I am aware. I'd like to think that suggesting a modification to the "Create in advance" and "Remind in advance" features to create a more useful feature would be something worth submitting as a feature request, but looking at the list of feature requests already awaiting consideration makes me think that adding to that list would be a waste of time. Working with what we've got rather than what I'd like to see, I recently upgraded from 2.6.21 to 3.5.1 following Eric's observation that there is now an additional feature via Edit/Preferences/Register to set future transactions to show after a blank transaction. This has partially resolved one of my associated problems, (in which my numerous future transactions dominated the account register window leaving the more relevant recent transactions hidden), which makes the status quo a little more tolerable.
