Restarting a Scheduled Transaction - possible ?

[David Carlson]

AEG,

I have succeeded in re-using scheduled transactions but there are some
limitations.  In your case, I think that using the for some number of
occurrences may be what is preventing further use of that SX.  I have never
used that box.  Last Occurred is only settable by the program so once it
has set that, I think there is no way to change the SX to add another
occurrence before that date.

As you have surmised, it is likely easier to duplicate a recent occurrence
in the register and create a new SX from that.
