[GNC] Scheduled Transactions creating but not posting in register

[smada46 at hotmail.com]

My problem is not SXs being created by mistake, it is that they are being shown as created (both in the SLR and SX editor last created box for the SX) but not being populated in the register at all.  So seems I may have a bug.  Appreciate the help.

You may find that preference stuck and the next time you open the file, the SLR does not run.

If you really do want to change the status the only way would be to close the data file without saving any changes at all.

If you edit the scheduled transaction it tells you the last date for which the transaction was created.  Then look in the register and see if it is there for that date.  If not, you have a bug for which I am no help as I neither have a Mac nor do I use release 4.8.

Log shows nothing for transaction Powder River #2 Test even though Since Last Run window shows it was created.  The date shows but there is no name for the transaction.  The template rightly does not include numbers yet because there are no values in the template, only accounts.
