From: Mel on 23 Feb 2010 20:42 Using 2009 deluxe R6 on a XP machine I used to be able to: enter payee - enter enter payment or deposit - enter hit enter to leave category blank but now it is entering a category and I have no idea why it picks the one it does. I want it blank. And no it is not a memorized payee it will even do this if I enter enter enter enter. Do not think it used to work this way. suggestions please. SG
From: R. C. White on 23 Feb 2010 21:25 Hi, Mel. Seems a box got checked - perhaps unintentionally. I'm running Q2010 Deluxe, but I'm pretty sure this hasn't changed in several years: In Quicken, click Edit | Preferences | Quicken Preferences, and under Register, clear the X from the box that says, "Use Automatic Categorization". While you are there, you might want to explore some of the other Preferences. You can customize Quicken in many ways to fit the way YOU want to use it. ;<) RC -- R. C.

From: Mel on 24 Feb 2010 12:59 Thank you for suggestion R.C but box was clear. I tried setting it on, closing program then reopen, test, and set back to clear and no effect upon problem. Seems like that should have done it but didn't. More help anyone. Mel "R. C.

I see this in Q2005, Q2008, Q2009 and Q2010; so I don't think it's new. I believe it's triggered by using the Enter key to move between fields (I did not see it when I used the Tab key to move between fields). Based on my quick test, Quicken seems to choose the first category in alphabetical sequence - tied to whether you enter a withdrawal (lowest alphabetic expense catgegory), or a deposit (lowest alphabetic income category). I can't see any sense to it.

I usually use enter or mouse to move between fields and do not remember this happening before 2009 version but that might be my poor memory. I have been updating quicken every 2-3 years since early 1990s Mel >
