I have recently upgraded Quicken from 2005 to 2006 (Win XP). I find that when I work on my bank account register, that keys such as tab and enter do not work. I have to move from one field to the next by using the mouse. Additionally, when I enter the payee, the other boxes are not filled in automatically, as was done with Quicken 2005. I went to preferences to try to rectify these problems and was unsuccessful. I would appreciate advice.
Thanks.

Click on the Scroll Lock button above the Home button. See if that resolves the issue.
I could not find the Scroll Lock Button. In any case, I just opened Quicken
2006, and the tab and enter keys now work.I would like to know where the buttons you refer to are located.
Thank you for your assistance.

Scroll lock usually shares the Num Lock key but you have to use either the function+Numlock or Ctrl+Numlock to access it. Each keyboard is different.
I think the scroll/num-lock sharing Laura describes may be only on laptops, where keyboard real estate is at a premium On most fullsized keyboards you can find it in the top row of keys on the far right. If your keyboard has function keys for example (F1, F2, etc), it would be in a set of three keys to the right of those function keys. There's "Print Screen SysRq," "Scroll Lock" and "Pause Break." At least that's usually where it is, though as Laura says, each keyboard is different.
These keys date from the pre-Windows days. In Windows, for example, the Print Screen key will NOT print the contents of your screen. Go figure.
Yes, I am using a laptop.
Off course it does, it just doesn't print to a printer, it prints to the clipboard.
Start word, or powerpoint, or paint, or etc. Hit PrintScrn (usually shift-SysReq). Go into word and select paste.

Or if you prefer just a single window rather than the entire screen, just give that window the focus and hit Alt-PrtScrn. Now the clipboard contains just that single window, which you can then paste into your application. Jim Orson...
Yes, I realize that. But I'd say you're stretching the definition of "print" to the breaking point.
That's like saying if you define a block of copy and do control-C you're "printing" that block of copy to memory. Or every time you save a Word document you're "printing" it to your hard drive.
Not at all. Break is two key to the right on my keyboard :-)
To memory/disk maybe a little bit of a stretch, but you do realize that for a while, maybe even today, the routines that "print" to the screen and to a printer are the same, as they're addressing the rendering of the fonts into a bit-mapped medium.

And every ATM withdrawal is the printing of more money...
Of course. Didn't EVERYBODY already know that? I see the ATM service people working on those things all the time. I guess they're adding ink and paper. And when too many people visit the same ATM before the service folks can replenish it, it runs out. And that's what causes inflation and bank failures!
(I realize most of the readers of this group already knew that. Just wanted to bring some economics "newbies" up to speed.)
