I am aware of the difference. My point was meant to convey the
transactions I was looking for were in fact in the open register.

Using FIND in that open register cannot find the transaction at all, even
though it is there.

An odd question, but here goes:

I don't want to have to go to a list of all the transactions with the same
search parameter. I just want to go directly in the register to the last
transaction matching my search criteria.

Too, it is a programmed function, and it should work.


I a few years ago had this problem, and it owed to a setting iirc. I
cannot find the resolution I used then.

And still have no real answer.

There are a few more pieces of information that you did not
state, that might also be useful.

What version of Quicken are you using?

Does the problem occur in every Quicken account? If no, does in
always occur in a specific Quicken account, or account type - or
never in a specific Quicken account type.

Do you notice anything in common about the transactions that are
found; anything in common about the transactions that are not
found?

Depending on the reason for using the feature, sometimes there
are alternate methods to accomplish the purpose.

But not material; only Intuit can fix bugs ... if this is a bug.
And Intuit doesn't post here.
