Also be careful in that if you have any future dated transaction in the register then "blank transaction" won't be the last transaction if sorted by date (View --> Sort By ...) .
Best way to tell if it is "blank transaction" that you cannot delete is to close that register and then reopen it from the Accounts window. If the cursor ends up in it then it is "blank transaction" that you cannot delete it as that is by design. Another way is to go to that transaction in the register and then click on "Jump" button at the top and it should open up the contra account window. If clicking "Jump" doesn't do anything then that is the "blank transaction" that is NOT meant to be deleted but it is there to be filled in as a new transaction. If you delete the transaction from the latter window then it will get deleted from the former one as well. -----Original Message----- From: R Losey <rlo...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2024 1:03 PM To: Geoff Jankowski <geoff.jankow...@me.com> Cc: Paul-A <p...@sdf.org>; gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Newbie trouble deleting transaction Just for clarification, but "last", it is meant "the only transaction in the register", not the "last" (latest one you entered); I often delete the latest transaction.
