dumb question # 1438

In Q06 when looking at my checking register, I don't seem to be able to look at it WITHOUT at least on line highlighted, as if ready for input. The result is that some other line, above or below, is always partially obscured.



For example, if the last line in the register (the empty one) is highlighted/active, then the line above, where an entry has already been made, is partially obscured by the popup "ENTER | EXIT | SPLIT | @ | STAR" buttons on the extreme right. These obscure the prior lines Payment Deposit and Balance numbers.



Obviously I'm looking at the register in the one line display and do not have the same problem in the two line display, though I'd prefer that the register remain inactive and unselected until I specifically click on a line I want to work on, either to make a new entry or correct/change a prior entry. Is there a way to set the program thus?



Thanks--


Not that I know of.

You can select the last transaction in the register and the "transaction toolbar" will not block any existing transaction as it will appear in the last, empty, line.

You can also eliminate the transaction toolbar altogether:

Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program > Register > (uncheck "show transaction toolbar")

I forgot to mention that you can also select a transaction that is nowhere near where you want to look; then scroll up or down the register in the area of interest without ever moving/seeing the transaction toolbar. You can even hover on category fields with split lines and see the splits without selecting any transaction thus moving the transaction toolbar.
