setting up amount column in a checkbook

Quicken used to automatically show the last amount I entered for an account but no longer does so. This is convenient for recurring expenses. How do I set it up (edit it) to do so again?

    I suspect you are using recent versions of Quicken, as they have enhanced/been tweaking the QuickFill rules. While this offers a lot of new powerful features, it does take some learning of the new options.

    After you make sure you are up to date with the latest version, you can go into Quicken:Preferences:Register, and make sure the QuickFill option is selected and set to save for All fields. This will cause the last entered transaction (well, a list you can choose from for that Payee when entering the transaction manually) with the amount already there.

    Well I just tried that, checked both, auto and all worlds. Closed Quicken, reopened it and tried a new entry but the field still came up 0 until I typed a new number in?

    Try it again after you enter a new transaction-that is creating rules for new transactions moving forward. No rules have been created for existing. (Well, one has, but only not with amount)
