How do I schedule transactions to move money from one account to another every month?

I've just upgraded from Quicken 2002 to Windows subscription. I want to recreate my list of scheduled transactions.  I can see the Bill Minder/Income Reminders but those don't let you set up a transfer between two accounts. The Support topic says to go into the account (did that) and click the Transaction tab (can't see one) then the Schedule tickbox (can't see one of those either).

You want to use a Transfer Reminder. Bills>Add Reminder>Transfer Reminder.

Do you want to ACTUALLY move the money (i.e., have Q send instructions to your bank to cause this), OR do you want to simply have an automated record of instructions that you've already given to your bank?

GeoffG's response addresses the 2nd option.

For the 1st option, we'll need to know how you're connected to your bank (do TOOLS, Account List, and look in the "Download Transactions" column for this info) and whether you bank allows such ... meaning we need to know WHICH bank?

just an automated record of instructions already set up with the bank, thanks.
