"Use Register" Default Account

When I select to "Use Register" it defaults to an inactive account. For the life of me I have not been able to find where I can set the default account for this function. It seems a little stupid that it would actually pick an inactive account, but nonetheless I need some help!

Thanks, Tom

If you're using a Mac version then I haven't found the fix for this problem. If you're using a Windows version then go to Edit > Preferences and find where the inactive account was set as a default, likely in the Checking category.

Tara,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, even on the PC version, I cannot find a fix for this. In the preferences, I have clicked on every tab for both my preferences and company preferences. No where in there does it refer to the account that defaults when I click on Use Register.

Thanks, Tom

Thats because none exits. Just reposition the account in the chart of accounts so the bank account you want as default is positioned before any others.

Allan,

I'm not sure what you mean? How do I position it before the others? I went ahead and renamed it hoping it was alphabetical order, but that didn't do anything for me.

Thanks!

You can drag accounts up and down within the same type category with your mouse.

Allan,

THANK YOU! That is exactly what I needed. Tara, that should work on the Mac too!

Thanks, Tom
