Possible just to change the TAG? Andrew 11-22-2007

 Q2008 - can one simply change the 'tag' value in a FIND/REPLACE? The dialog
box combines both as a 'Category/Tag' entry; ergo, one can't change JUST the
tag. Strange...am I missing something obvious???

So if I have a:b/c and d:e/c, there doesn't seem to be an easy way simply
to change them to a:b/z and d:e/z in one fell swoop.

 By the way, I forgot to mention that I am trying to change the tag to one
that is ALREADY being used - trying to merge them, in fact. This makes a
big difference in my question, since one could simply RENAME the tag in the
tag list if it wasn't already being used.

Jonn - thank you for the reference; I didn't remember that, and I'll be sure
to check it out tomorrow when I'm a little less tired than I am right now
after a day of feasting. I appreciate the reply; sure to save me a lot of
time.

And to you, and everyone else in the NG, I wish you all a great
Thanksgiving.

OK = so I couldn't wait (!). I found your post, and it seemed promising. I
do the transaction report, and if I only select ONE transaction, the edit
button dropdown allows me to 'RETAG TRANSACTION(S)' fine. But if I click
one or more, than that particular option is grayed out. Funny that some of
the others (like CHANGE MEMO and CHANGE PAYEE) are still valid for multiple
selections. Any idea what I might be doing 'wrong'??
