Entering Transaction type

sgoldberg124

Previously, when entering a transaction type (like ATM or Deposit) and pressing "A" automatically brought up "ATM" as the transaction type. Now, it just stays on "A". Slows down the process. Did this change in a recent update? I'm on Windows Q version R44.28
Thanks Steve

What do you mean by "transaction type", and where are you inputting the "A" ... into what field  and into what type of account?

This is in the check transaction register, putting in the type of transaction.
Do you need more information?

Have you tried clicking on that down-arrow (next to your "a") to see if ATM is still in the list?

Because typing an a in that field in my checking register brought up the ATM value.

Then what if you type the T after the A?    You might have more than one "a" listed in that column.

I have only the one "a" in the list, ATM. And if I type "atm" it still does not bring up "ATM".
If, for everyone else, the app still works the same, i.e. typing "a" brings up "ATM", what would be different on my machine?

If clicking on the down arrow icon in a Checking account register does not bring up the list of available choices as shown below, then "there's something rotten in the State of Denmark", so to speak.

If you haven't done so already, please do the following actions:

• Even if you are on the latest software level already, download and install the latest Mondo Patch file from https://www.quicken.com/support/update-and-mondo-patch-20182019-release-quicken-windows-subscription-product to ensure your Quicken software is up to date and correctly installed.
• Reboot Windows.
• Validate and Supervalidate your Quicken data file.
• If nothing helps, try to restore your Quicken data file from an Automatic or Manual backup taken just prior to the problems first occurring. https://www.quicken.com/support/how-backup-or-restore-your-quicken-data

 

Validate and Supervalidate instructions

First save a backup file prior to performing these steps

Validate: 

1. Click File
2. Select Validate and Repair File...
3. Select Validate File
4. If the data file contains investment accounts also select "Rebuild investing lots". If you suspect that a damaged Quotes Price History causes your problems, also select "Correct investing price history" functions "Delete" or "Repair and Rebuild".
5. Click OK
6. Close the Data Log
7. Close Quicken (leave it closed for about 30 secs)
8. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

Super Validate:

1. Click File
2. Press and hold both CTRL and Shift keys while you click Validate and Repair File...
3. Select Supervalidate File
4. Click OK
5. Close the Data Log
6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for about 30 secs)
7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

I haven't done this update yet. But noticed this today. When in the Investing section, entering a transaction, when I put in the ticker code for a stock, it used to bring up that stock. Now it just lists all the stocks in my portfolio. So this is similar to the check register when selecting the type entry (i.e."a" to ATM).

Well, still not working. I did the Validate and SuperValidate with closing & opening Quicken. Did the download and reinstalled the Mondo patch, rebooted. Again did the Validate and SuperValidate, no major errors or corrections. Still not working. I don't want to go back to an older backup, not sure when the issue started. I'll just live with it until it starts working again. Thanks for everyone's help.
