I am a long-time MSMoney user but, since there product currently stinks, I've turned to Quicken 2008. So far I like most everything. I've found all the stuff I was using before, except for two things:
1) Is there no way to enter transactions other than directly into the trasaction register? I have an issue with the buttons always being in the way of the amount of the next transaction. I can turn off the buttons but then I can't enter a new transaction (at least, it never asks me if I want to save the transaction when I leave). I also just don't like being in "edit mode" ALL THE TIME. If I touch the keyboard I have to leave and cancel the change to make sure nothing gets messed up. There's got to be an easier way to edit trasactions.Now this one actually is important...
2) How do I edit a single occurance of a future sheduled bill? I LIVE by the Cash Flow Analysis Report. How is everything effecting everything else. The only problem that I have not solved comes from the fact that I'm a contractor. I don't get paid for holidays and vacation. So when I have a holiday comming up (like 4th of July) I know my paycheck will be for less. I can't find a way to change the amount of a future instance of my paycheck to better reflect what I know will be true.Any help on either of these would be great.
