Recurring Transactions (Mac Version)

I an trying out MyMoney and it is looking extremely good so far. One thing though = why it is that only some of the entries I have memorised show "recurring" in the detail/input form whilst others do not?

Thanks
Colin

When you memorize a transaction you are given a choice at how many times this transaction will repeat over set period of time.

If you leave everything by default then the memorized transaction will not repeat, you enter it manually every single time you want to have it in the register.

Repeating (recurring) transactions behave a little different, when you enter a recurring transaction the software keeps track of how many times it was entered and at what time intervals. This is done to accurately reflect bills that may have set number of occurrences (48 car payments before loan is paid of for example, or a paycheck at 15th and 30th of the month)

We are planning to allow automatic entry of recurring transactions in a couple of cycles and (--among other things) this will be one of the visual marks that differentiates manual and automated bills in the register.

Hi, I am a new user so pardon any ignorance.... Is there a way to set up recurring and/or scheduled transactions and/or a list of bills due, using the My Money program? I can't seem to figure out a way to do any of these things. I am using a trial version if that makes any difference.
