How can I enter "Check" and check number in a bill?

Richard Hix

I've set up several bills (actually brought over the the Mac version from Windows version). In the checking account where I want to pay the bill (writing and mailing a check), I can't enter "Check" and the number when I try to edit the entry. Any Ideas?

Hi, Richard.

Are these scheduled transactions? If so, you have to mark them as paid before you can edit all the fields that will get posted when you save the transaction.

Also, you might wish to make the Action column visible-that is where Quicken for Mac saves details such as ATM, EFT, Check, etc. The Check # column is now reserved for check numbers (or commands to print checks, send payments, etc.)

Thanks, John. I have the Action column visible. I clicked on a January scheduled mortgage payment, and after marking as paid; I was able to enter a check number. I started using the Mac version several months ago and guess I'd never had to write a check till this property tax bill. All other scheduled items were electronically paid so nothing to enter. You solved my problem! Thanks, again.
