Hi Maf I followed your instructions and I am happy I have completely removed the memo and it works well now.

That's fine, I shall do the same and tell you exactly what I press to enter a new transaction in my bank account register. I use auto-split double line as my default view settings, and for this I've got Formal Account labels set, which I think you have too. From the Chart of Accounts view, I double-click to open my bank account register, and the view switches to show it. The Date field of a new transaction is already selected. I press minus twice to enter a transaction from 2 days ago. TAB -> num field. Leave blank. TAB -> Description field. Type TestTransaction TAB -> New Row, Notes field. Type TestNote (won't be visible in single line view) TAB -> New Row, Action field (was num, but the heading has changed) LEave Blank TAB -> 1st Memo. Type test1 TAB -> Account. Already shows bank account. leave it as is. TAB -> Debit. Leave blank TAB -> Credit. Type 1.00 TAB -> New Row, Action. leave blank TAB -> Memo. Type test2 TAB -> Account. Type Expenses TAB -> Debit already filled with 1.00. Leave it. TAB -> Credit. leave blank TAB -> new row, action, leave blank ENTER -> Transaction remains in bank account register in the correct place in date order. what happens if you follow the exact sequence above? If it differs, please explain clearly in terms like above, press such-and-such, click here etc. If you don't want to see the memo lines, then you'll have to go to the View Menu, and select "Basic Ledger", but if you ever need to enter a transaction with more than 2 splits, you'll see them anyway (all transactions in GC have at least 2 splits (to 2 accounts)). HTH, Maf.
