Using Q2005 HB. Savings account register's 2nd column (Num) has dropdown arrow that permits selection from 5 options... transfer (TXFR) being one.
I had a money market account I've been carrying as an Asset account for years and decided to put it where it belongs; Cash Flow Center as a Saving account. (I really don't know what benefit this brings other than comfort knowing it's technically in the "right" place. Maybe some report will group it with another when it prints.)
I made the mechanical transfer and all appears well... except for that 2nd column; it remained blank. I then reconciled a statement and allowed the wizard to post interest. That too went well .... except for that 2nd column which remained empty.
I guess I've not paid much attention in the past whether or not this column should fill in automatically. I t should know the direction of flow from where I put the amount and it should know what to choose for that column since I designate the category in another cell.
Q1) These supposed to pop up automatically? Q2) If not, how does my selection of one of those 5 choices affect anything other than that column? I don't see its importance other than service as a quick reference to an action that doesn't occur often or to ID a check number.
