Locking transactions after a reconcile?

[Derek Atkins]

Andrew,

Have you tried to modify a reconciled transaction?  If not, then this
dialog wouldn't have been clicked away.  If yes, did you try to modify
from the account in which it was reconciled?  Or did you attempt to modify
it from a different account, (e.g. the "other" account")?

If you attempt to modify it from another account (e.g. the expense
account) then you wont necessarily get a warning to stop you.  But if you
try from the asset account where you reconciled it, then yes, you should
be blocked from editing the transaction unless you click away the dialog.

Hope this helps,
