Thanks Geoff and others for your replies... I don't see the point of a blank entry like that. For bank accounts I expect to import data from external files, not do any manual entries, but maybe I'm naive. I guess I'm okay for now, except for a general feeling of uneasiness about the interface. W

That’s a preference on the Register tab, “placement of future transactions”. If it’s checked you get the behavior you describe, if not checked the blank transaction is always at the bottom (or top if you have the sort reversed). Regards, John Ralls > On Oct 8, 2024, at 07:20, Kalpesh Patel w

Yes it is the default entry for the next input. Be aware that it does not default to today’s date except on opening GNC. After that it will show the date of your last entry. I guess it assumes you have more transactions to enter with the same date. Geoff +33 6 22 93 00 53 +44 7770 58 48 38

Sorry, Let me clarify. By last transaction in the register I mean the blank entry for the next input. This is the one that users cannot delete. Paul, let us know if you have sorted it or are still having problems. Geoff +33 6 22 93 00 53 +44 7770 58 48 38 > On 8 Oct 2024, at 05:53, Paul-A vi

Thanks for all the replies... no popup, and no indication that anything happened or is supposed to. It is the last entry, showing today's date, maybe I should've clued into that, since I thought it was from a few days ago. Is it just my imagination then that I entered this, and it's just the norm

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. On Mon, Oct 7, 2024 at 1:25 AM Geoff Jankowski via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > If it is the last entry in t

If it is the last entry in the register it cannot be deleted. If it has entries above and below it, you should be able to delete it and if you cannot, there is an issue. Geoff +33 6 22 93 00 53 +44 7770 58 48 38 > On 7 Oct 2024, at 08:05, Paul-A via gnucash-user > wrote: > > I've just sta

I've just started using gnucash, and have imported a few years worth of data successfully from a bank account. Afterwards I manually entered two more transactions, where one is mistaken. I'd like to remove the mistake, but am unable to do so with either the Delete button or "Delete transaction" m
