SYMPTOMS

When you press ENTER to enter a transaction into the Account Register in Microsoft Money, the transaction may not be entered, and the insertion point may move to the next field instead.

If you press ENTER two times, the transaction is entered into the Account Register.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if the Use ENTER key to move between fields option is selected.

RESOLUTION

To return Money to its default behavior of entering the transaction when the ENTER key is pressed:
  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the Editing tab, click to clear the Use ENTER key to move between fields check box.

MORE INFORMATION

The default behavior when the ENTER key is pressed depends on the version of Money you are using. In Money 2.0, the default behavior is to move the cursor between fields. In all other versions of Money, the default behavior is to enter the transaction.

The Use ENTER key to move between fields option determines this behavior.
