An option setting in the System tab of the Setup > User Preferences dialog allows you to use the ENTER key rather than the TAB key to move between fields when working in the Tasks > Transactions Entry window.

Default setting = ON

In the Setup > User Preferences dialog, mark the Use enter key to move between fields checkbox if you prefer to use the ENTER key (rather than the TAB key) to move from field to field and to save the record.

  • In the Checks and Deposits tab, press ENTER past the last field in the Checks and Deposits grid to save the record OR press the TAB key to move the cursor to the Additional Distributions grid.
  • In the Additional Distributions grid of the Checks and Deposits tab and in the Journal Entries tab, press ENTER past the last blank field to save the record.

Clear the checkbox if you prefer to use the TAB key to move from field to field and to use the ENTER key to invoke the command associated with the default button.

Note: Regardless of the setting for this option, when in Browse mode in the Transactions window, you may press ENTER to invoke the command associated with the default button.
