[Kmymoney] Re: Cannot edit payee list

[Ian Millington]

Hi

I've tried with both 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 with the same result. It works with 
1.0.5 though.

I tried setting KMM to show only transactions from 1/1/2011. No difference.

I'm not sure how I would run a transaction report by payee. Do you have 
any guidance on that please?

Also, I don't know how valid this is but running a consistency check 
produces the error "consistency check failed - invalid transaction to be 
modified".

I can't get past the fact that 1.0.5 works on this but 4.x.x doesn't. Weird!
