This isn't a critical problem. I can live with a few typo errors in those text blocks but it sure seems strange that they can't be edited and corrected. Gordon

Actually, I think it's a good idea not to have changes to payee and memo automatically propagate. If they did, you would never be able to have a different payee name or memo text in each half of a transfer. The way it is now, if you want the two halves to contain the same payee and memo, you get that automatically when a new transfer is added; and if you want the two halves to be the same after changes, you can make them so. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

That effectively deletes, and re-adds, the transaction. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help |
