Control-F to Find Blank Entries Bob Holiday 04-03-2007

 Using Control "F" in order to find any or all the entries in my bank account
which contain "Blank", Quicken always defaults to Date. I would like it to
default to All Fields. Is there any way to do this? Thanks for the help!

Actually CTRL+F (Find) defaults to searching in the register
field where you leave your cursor ... which is very often the
date field.

Since there is no register "field" for "All Fields", there is no
way to default to "All fields".

When using CTRL-F within the account register, it appears that the search
field defaults to the field the cursor is in. i.e.. If the cursor is in the
check number field, the search is on check number, if the curser is on the
date, the search is on date... etc. "All fields" may be selected from the
drop down.

I know of no method in which "All fields" can be defaulted when using
CTRL-F.

If you select Find/Replace from the Edit menu, OUTSIDE of the register (from
the cash flow center, for example) THEN the box pulls up with "All fields"
as the default. Unfortunately, the CTRL-F option is grayed out from outside
the register. I am guessing the code for the search options box is field
specific.

Thanks, "L." I appreciate the detailed answer. That helped a lot. Such
shortcuts are real time savers.
