It is often caused by pressing the Enter key prematurely. Adrien knows
that, I'd just like to suggest it here, so you can watch what

Peter,
Their are a couple of preference entries which can help make things a bit
clearer. Under the Edit Preferences dialog in the Register defaults there are 3
options basic Ledger, Autosplit Ledger and Transaction Journal. These control
how a transaction is displayed in the register for an accou

involved the date you entered is out of the range of dates displayed f
