This Tag thing is interesting.
Originally Quicken set up too few fields Then, after while they
realized they needed one more field. It proved too disruptive to add 1
more field so they concocted this category/Class thing, in which Class
became a poor cousin of a field.
As a consequence there are certain reports you couldn't make since
Class was not a field.
Tag appears to finally rectify this defect.
It's only my take. I am still using Q2005.
