A slight variation on Steve's suggestion. I made the mortgage payments a 'Scheduled Transaction' with some nominal values for principal and interest payments. Then, they were created automatically, and I just edited them to get the amounts correct. Will On 2022 Aug 2, at 08-02 02:55:33, David

Re: [GNC] Blue line in checking account register window

I don't see the any image in your post, but the behavior you describe sounds like what happens when you have transactions with a future date. They appear below a blue line. Will On 2022 Jul 9, at 07-09 14:33:05, Barry G. Hall wrote: I am running GnuCash 4.6 on a 2011 iMac running OSX 10.14.6

Re: [GNC] Date column width

The solution I have found helpful is to look at the date in the lower left corner of the window. When the cursor is in a date field the current value of the date is shown in full at the bottom left. And it updates if you use plus or minus keys to change the date. Will On 2022 May 12, at 05-12

Re: [GNC] New to GnuCash SQLite on Windows: I have questions

In my experience, on MacOS, double-clicking on a Gnucash file opens Gnucash but not necessarily with the file that was double-clicked. Gnucash will open with whatever was the last file used. So, on MacOS, the suffix is useful, sort of. But it is not handled the way most applications handle doub
