Typing error correction?
in [Quicken]
|
From: Antares 531 on 11 Jun 2010 16:31 I have another problem with correcting my errors in Quicken 2010 Premier Release R10. I made a simple typo in the Memo slot for one of my entries, and can not figure out how to change this. I tried editing the Investing window and this seems to have worked okay but it didn't change the error in the same Memo note in the Banking window. I tried editing this Memo in the Banking window and got the same error message I have received any time I tried to make a change in the Banking window..."You should make this change from the Investment Account to avoid losing transaction detail. Click Go to Transfer from the Edit menu." Is there any workable way to edit a Memo in the Banking window? Thanks, Gordon

Open the register - go to your transaction - click on the Memo box - type in the correct info and then click enter http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac69/jl747/RegisterColumnHeader.jpg

I have gone to the Investing register and made the Memo change, then pressed the Enter key. The Memo change looks right in this register but when I go to the Banking register the change did not occur. That is, the original Memo note with its error remains unchanged. I'm wondering if maybe I have to change the Clr column from R to c or blank, but I haven't yet figured out how to do this.

Changing payee or memo data in transfers does not propagate the change to the other half of the transfer ... regardless of the account types involved. > I'm wondering if maybe I have to change the Clr column from R to c or > blank, but I haven't yet figured out how to do this. You would select the transaction, click on the two periods after the "R" and select "c" or space in the resulting drop down. But this won't help with changing the memo in the linked checking account. For that I believe you have to delete the investment account transaction and re-enter it with the desired text in the memo field. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

I very seldom make these changes yet it seems to me that in earlier Quicken versions changes in payee or memo *would* be reflected in the offsetting account. If I'm correct that this is a change in the programming, it sure doesn't make any sense to me. Tom Young |
