Up to now, no problem.

This is where I'm in trouble : this used to happen only if I created
manualy a new transaction, but not if I was importing transaction through
an OFX file : When I "edit" the transaction and pull down the payees list,
no "same transaction" window opens. Is there a way to make this come true ?

I've been checking into "configuration" menus until... I ended up loosing
the chance to open the "same transaction" window, even for manual
transaction. Can you help me upon that ?

This used to work fine as long as I created the operation manually, which
is not my goal, OFX importation being much more efficient. I've no idea
about the config change that made this disapear.

I guess this could be a long way to get this done. I'd rather find out how
to get the best of what is allready existing, upon which you allready gave
me a precious start. Is there a way to force the "nearly same operation"
window opening ?

Thanks,

Hugo
