Margaret,
When the new recurring transaction appears, if the amount is incorrect, just press enter on the amount and change it to the correct amount. The next time it recurs, the amount you just placed in will be posted again, so you just edit it again with a few simple keystrokes. It is virtually impossible, except for possibly a rent or mortgage bill, for the amounts of utility bills to be the same every month. But doing a quick edit of the amount is very easy and faster than manually entering each utility bill. You also have the advantage of having the program do the memory work for you and putting the transaction with enough advanced warning to be meaningful to your needs.

Robert,

   I have a feeling this feature may work best with transactions that
are for the same amount every month such as rent etc.  The one I had
the problem with was for my electric bill and the amount varies every
month.  I'm not coordinated enough yet to pay each bill on the same
day of the month or to have automatic withdrawals made from my
account.

   I've been using the register since September or October, so at
least have the average amounts for the bills that change each month,
so have something to work with.  Will have to see what happens.

Margaret,
   I decided to use this feature only for the automatic transactions.
I
tried it with some others last month but when this month rolled
around,
found it was more work to double check them.  Will see how it works
out next
month.
