Jeff,
Seems to be the case for me as well, except if you "Enter in Register"
from Bills Summary it brings up a "withdrawal" dialog and prompts for a
check number. If you cancel, then go to Bills Calendar and "Enter in
Register" the same payment, it brings up a "spend" dialog with no check
number prompt. Then canceling that and going back to Bills Summary and
repeating the first step brings up the "withdrawal" dialog but this
time with no check number field or prompt! Very strange. Closing
Money and re-opening resets this back to prompting for check number
again!
Definitely still something strange going on with Loan Payments. I'm
not sure if the type of account the loan is paid out of makes a
difference. I use a cash account for the loan payment in Money with my
actual bank debit for the payment as a transfer to cash.
Haven't yet had a chance to check out the OP's problem on my working
data file nor to re-confirm on the sample.mny. Does your sample.mny
file mortgage example work as expected or still have the old problem?
If you have a chance let us know.
Regards,
JB
