[GNC] Newbie trouble deleting transaction

[Kalpesh Patel]

Telltale sign of such a “blank transaction” is that it will have today's date filled-in -- and no other columns -- for the entire transaction when you look at it in the register.

If it’s blank except for a date then it’s the “blank transaction”. It’s there to give you a place to enter new transactions. You can’t delete it because it’s just space in the form: There’s no transaction until you fill it in and commit it.
