Validation Failed Message after Deposits

Problem

After using the Deposit Funds command to add a deposit in Goldenseal accounting software version 3.5, the next bank transaction would cause an error message (Validation Failed). Goldenseal would then look through all bank transactions and rebuild the running totals.

Caught By

User bug reports, Turtle Creek testing.

Workaround

None. It doesn't cause any problems, but it's annoying.

Solution

This problem is fixed in version 3.6 of the Goldenseal accounting software program.

Technical Details

The Deposit Funds command was updating running totals too early, which caused the bank account to pick up an erroneous value for its current balance. The next bank transaction would fix the problem, but it gave an annoying error message and took some time to fill in the correct value.

It looks like we introduced this problem in version 3.4 or 3.5.
