I had the same problem a couple weeks ago.  It took me a *long* time to
figure out (I thought Gnucash was broken)...

It in the menu under Actions -> Reset Warnings.



Thank you Stuart, I appreciate the reply.

It was very hard to find that.  Interestingly enough I've probably been past
that menu option a hundred times today.  I did find the write up in the Help
file under Customizing GnuCash, in section 9.5. Reset Warnings...

The trouble is there isn't anything written in section 9.5. that tells me to
go to Actions > Reset Warnings.  Maybe this email will help someone else
struggling with a niggling problem like this.
