David, you may be thinking of File » Properties » Accounts » Day Threshold for Read-Only Transactions (red-line).
I'm not sure why the developers thought it would be a good idea to do this as a number of days in the past instead of a date in the past, but they did. It means that if you want, say, to prevent yourself from accidentally changing something in last year's transactions, or accidentally entering a new transaction with last year's date, you have to change the red-line every single day that you use GnuCash. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tompkins County, New York, USA https://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com On 2020-03-02 10:32, David Carlson wrote: > I seem to recall there being a setting for a warning if entering a > transaction date before some value, but now I cannot find it.
