Saying more or less what "The Street" said. In the UK version of Quicken
2000 when I receive a payment I go into Recevables, click on the invoice
(bill) and click on receive payment. Check it is set to credit the right
account, enter the amount paid and click OK.
Money is contra'd against any oustanding invoices for that client and
automatically credited to the designated bank account.
Don't know whether that is relevant to the USA? version you are using.
