Not so. The preference is at user level, not file level. All you need do is open an empty file, change the preference, then open the desired file. At least, that's true of 2.6.21; I doubt it's changed. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Removing Scheduled Transaction From a Closed Year
Even if you don't have "Review created transactions" preference checked on, you can always use the find option. Look for "Date Posted" use the "is on or after" option to find all transactions after 1/1/?? and you can then delete them. You would have to change the preference before you open an old file to either not "Run when data file opened" or as you suggest make sure "Review created transactions" is checked so you can delete them more easily.

Re: [GNC] Removing Scheduled Transaction From a Closed Year
That would be: Preferences > Scheduled Transactions > Since Last Run > Run when data file opened. So you want a dialog box to confirm the preference each time? What's the point of the preference then? Regards, Adrien On 2/24/24 2:03 PM, David H wrote: Strikes me that it wouldn't be a bad idea to popup a dialog box "Run Scheduled Txns?

Re: [GNC] Removing Scheduled Transaction From a Closed Year
What OS & Gnucash version ? What I would try is to just close all apps running/open on your pc, then set your pc date and time to the last updated date/time of your Gnucash file. Open the file which hopefully won't trigger any scheduled txns and then turn off the "run when data file opened" preference to run them at startup. Strikes me that it wouldn't be a bad idea to popup a dialog box "Run Scheduled Txns? Yes / No" when starting Gnucash as this is something you have no control over once you've checked the preference to on - 20/20 hindsight :-) Cheers David H.

Is there a way of stopping GNUCash from doing that before I open the app? BUT if you are opening this 2022 file to look at data entered only before 2023, you should not have a problem. a) Run whatever reports you need with explicit dates (any date would be before 1/1/23) b) Do not save changes (turn off autosave; do not save at end) OR first make a copy of your 2022 archive file and use that. c) If these scheduled transactions ARE interfering with what you want to look at, consider HOW you are looking at it and what alternative ways (for example, reports where you can supply explicit dates) Michael D Novack ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Removing Scheduled Transaction From a Closed Year
Stan gave you the answer, but also, please just start a new e-mail to the group when beginning a topic. It looks like you hit 'reply' on someone else's topic to start your own. I'll add to Stan's answer that other than deleting the Scheduled Transactions, if you are going to be in the habit of archiving a copy of the file each year, you can set each Scheduled Transaction to stop working as of December 31st of that year before archiving. Then when you open the book again to begin work in the new year, change that to 12/31 of the new year. From them on, all of your Scheduled Transactions will stop firing each year on 12/31, and you can restart them by changing the year in that setting when you first open the book in the next year. (no, sorry, there's no way to do that for lots of them at once, it is a one-at-a-time edit) Regards, Adrien On 2/23/24 12:46 PM, Grace wrote: Hello All, I am needing to revisit my GNUCash records for 2022.

[GNC] Removing Scheduled Transaction From a Closed Year
Hello All, I am needing to revisit my GNUCash records for 2022. I forgot to erase all the scheduled transaction before I "archived" it, so now when I open the app, it applies all the scheduled transaction for 2023 and 2024! Did not think about that!! Is there a way of stopping GNUCash from doing that before I open the app? Are the scheduled transactions in a file some where that I could delete? Hope there is an easy way to do this, Thanks Grace -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
