Just don't tick the "Create Automatically" option so the transaction will always appear in the Since Last Run dialog. Note that you can create scheduled transactions that follow several kinds of rules, such as the fifteenth of the month, or four days before the third Wednesday of each month, etc. etc. I name my reminder Scheduled Transactions something like "Download BigBank Statement" or "Transfer Niece's Funds to LittleBank" along with some text reminding me what day of the month the reminder is intended to appear. If the Scheduled Transaction gets to the "To Create" status and you don't want it to go away yet, you can change the reminder's status in the Since Last Run dialog. I'm not in front of a system with any pending transactions at the moment but there are several statuses to choose from. As Derek stated, GnuCash is NOT the best tool for calendar entries, but you CAN use Scheduled Transactions for reminder items. If you let your imagination roam you automate a few financial tasks using the transactions themselves. :-) > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
