It seems you Sharon's account is setup as a placeholder, which means it can 
only contain sub accounts, but you can't enter transactions directly into the 
account itself.

Simply do as the message suggests: In the account window, select the Sharon2 
account, click on "Edit" (or via the right mouse button menu) and turn off the 
placeholder checkbox.

After that, you will be able to enter transactions.
