Hi Tom,

I think that this error means that GC can't automatically create (ie insert 
into the register) a transaction which requires user input to give a value to 
a variable.

Look at your auto-create etc. settings for the scheduled txns in question, and 
see if you have them set to auto create.

Just 0.02,
Maf.
