probably should ask yourself why are you writing 1.0. I wouldn't do any updates to 1.0 code and make it a 2.0 update or nada

Ok but is it possible to do what I want in 2.0? That's what really matters.

Everything you can do in 1.0 can be done in 2.0. You can definitely load a record though.

It is possible to load a record in 1.0. You can't just say transaction you have to specify the type.

Yes, you have to run a search or lookup to discover the type of the transaction first. then load it. That is as true in 1.0 code as it is in 2.x

Didn't mean to pile on i failed to read the previous comments thats on me.. just making sure people at least evaluate the conversion option as well.
