That appeared to do the trick, Wm!
Thank you very much.

See if you can change the transactions in Tools / General Ledger. Pay
particular attention to the Reconciliation flag.
I had something similar once with, IIRC, a Cancelled or Voided
transaction.
I'm guessing the template transaction you used for your Scheduled
transaction must have inherited a flag.
Let me know if that helps either way coz if it doesn't I'll try and
recall more clearly.
