Hi Pam, I believe that any version of GC would cause you grief in the situation you describe. I think I read on this list that the template transaction amounts in a scheduled transaction are stored as alphanumeric strings, so if there is a comma or decimal point in those, they really are those physical characters. whereas, the numbers in the registers are stored as numbers, so the comma/ decimal point isn't stored as a physical character, software effectively puts it in automatically to make the numbers meaningful to a human as it displays them. I know it doesn't help your pain, but I thought it might offer some context.
