Quicken Tips

Make Your Own NUM Selection

In a previous tip, we made some comments about how to deal with debit cards, those magic cards that make it so easy to become destitute. Quicken suggests that you assign EFT to the Num field. However, you might not find the entry EFT to your liking. Fortunately, Quicken is so flexible that it lets you create another field called Debit or something more sensible. If you'd prefer that your debit card entries display Debit in the Num field, rather than EFT, try this:

• Click in the Num field to expand the list.
• Click on Edit List.
• Click on New.
• Enter Debit.
• Click on OK.
• Click on Done.

Now you can select Debit in the Num field when you enter a debit card transaction.
