Keep Search Results Open Across Restarts

    John.
I have to admit that it has been years since I last tried it.  That was probably in the 2.4 series of releases and it was definitely in Windows, probably W95 as that is what my Hp 1100 was attached to when I bought a micro (spell checker will notlet me delete the o that it insists on adding) printer cartridge.  
It worked very similar to the way that Quicken did it, and I thought that included automatically putting the check numbers into the transactions after the user verified that it all worked as expected.  I do not remember the part about searching, but if you put the word Print inthe check number box the search would be trivial.
I abandoned the procedure when I could no longer buy blank check paper from my supplier.

I am sorry that you are having such difficulty.

Hi David,  It would be great if it worked that way, but that does not seem to be the case. On both my machine with GnuCash 2.6.5 and my folks' machine with GnuCash 2.6.11, choosing Print Checks from the File menu when the checkbook register is forward prints only the selected transaction, regardless of what is in the Num field. Even if transaction is selected (the cursor is in the last row of the register where I can enter a new transaction), I just get a check for $0.00 with no payee. In contrast, if I have a search results frontmost, all the checks get printed.  So, I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is. I was following the instructions at http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/print-check.html. Following your directions, I don't have a "Print Checks" button in the toolbar. Should there be one? I would have assumed that the Print Checks item in the File menu would at least access the same subroutines, but I could be wrong. My and my folks' computers are 2014 MacBook Pros running Yosemite (10.10.5). Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "marked the transactions." I'm just putting the word "Print" in the Num field. Is there some other way I should mark them? Finally, I don't see any way to enter the "correct number for the first check" in the dialog that results from choosing Print Checks in the File menu, and I'm not sure why it matters because the check numbers are already printed on the blank checks. We do have to manually enter the check numbers into the correct transactions in GnuCash. It would be ! nice not to have to do that.

Just go to that account register, click on the print checks button after you have marked the transactions and loaded the blank checks in your printer.  All the transactions marked Print get printed.  You only mark the ones you want to pay with the word Print.  If you entered the correct number for the first check, they are all numbered correctly when you are done.> > David C_______________________________________________gnucash-user mailing listgnucash-user at gnucash.orghttps://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user-----Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All.
