How do I fill down an amount or a name or anything that is the same??
Highlite-copy-paste works but its a pain. Is there a fill down button??
Like 10 deposits to same bank, how do I copy the name of the bank without
using the auto fill?? Even works has a fill down option!!!

Bunno what the difference is with a more modern QB copy, but when I do
my daily deposits in QB2004 it's as simple as filtering transaction type
e.g, Mastercard+Visa then click select all, double check total matches
with credit card terminal print out then deposit to required account.

about 3 clicks.

Same for other types (Maestro,Solo,Switch) select all then un-tick the
cash sales.

Then do the cash sales that are left and put them into a different account.

It's not a problem even with 30 or 40 or more daily transactions. Never
needed a "spreadsheet" feature.

Have you tried "proper" copy & paste?
i.e. ctrl+c (copy) then ctrl+v (paste)
once something is on the clipboard you couldsurely just use the down
arrow to thnext fl then ctrl+v and so on.

I'm not really sure what you're after though as I's not something I've
ever felt I needed.

Copy and Paste did not work but your proper copy and paste did work.
Now on a deposit with 5-10 payments from same vendor I can fill down the
Received From column "controlC then Control V" . I knew about that "proper"
copy and paste but I did not think to try it.
Thanks

Glad tohave been of help Larry.
I am always forgetting to use keyboard copy/paste myself. It's soo much
quicker but current habits are hard to get out of.

Sorry about dodgy text.
I have an RF connected keyoard that regularly misses key storkes when
typing a bitfaster.

Why do I find it hard to imagine that you can type faster than the
keyboard's buffer can store the keystrokes?
