How to merge two expense accounts

jimwallace

I want to merge two expense accounts but unable to find away to do it in Quicken for windows. I use to do it all the time in Quick Books...it was very simple. Anyone got an answer short of moving all transactions.

"Accounts" or "Categories"?

Quicken uses Categories to do the same thing that bookkeepers use expense or income accounts for.

So, if you want to merge one category into another, you can use the Tools / Recategorize function in Quicken to select transactions using Category X and change them to Category Y.
As always, before using a function that makes changes to multiple transactions, be sure to have or create a backup of your data file. There is no UNDO button in Quicken if you make a mistake.
