How can I change type of account

Lola Angell

I have a MacBook with v.2020. I have a checking account that is shown as a credit card. How can I change it? I have a zillion other questions but will post only one at a time. (I might add that I am 86 years old and not computer literate so please be gentle.) Thanks

p.s. I have no idea what "Tags" below are.

@Vince Drottar In the top Mac menu bar, when Quicken is running, one of the menus is Accounts. Settings is the second option on the menu.

The sidebar shows my checking account number, it's at the very top where the account number is shown in bold type ... under this is where it shows as a credit card account. There are some entries for my checking account. Thanks, RickO

Thanks, RickO I was able to change the account name. I can guarantee that I will be back.

I have the same problem as Lola(above), but I can't locate the menu"account Settings" as mentioned above. Please help!

Thanks Jacobs, but the "settings" is not highlighted. The only items highlighted are
"hide and show, update and show acc., and set up transaction".

@Vince Drottar That is because you have not clicked on an account in the left sidebar. In the sidebars, there are all your individual accounts, which appear under several pre-determined group headings which as in bold type. At the top is All Transactions, a grouping of all your accounts. You cannot adjust the settings for this, because it is not an account. Similarly, you may see such group headings as Banking, Cash, Savings, Credit Card, Investing, Brokerage, Retirement, Property & Debt, Property, Debt (depending on what accounts you have set up). You must click on an actual account, not an account heading, to be able to adjust the settings for the account.

Under the bold type "CREDIT CARD" is listed my adjustable rate mortgage. I would like to eliminate the bold word credit card and replace it with the word HOME MORTGAGE??

Vince Drottar

I can't change the word credit card. When I highlight the bold word, I can't get the account - settings to be highlighted.Only when I highlight the sub account the adjustable rate mortgage will the settings be highlighted?

You can't change the names of the group account headings provided by Quicken. You can change the names of your accounts.
