QuickFill, available in all U.S. versions since at least QB5, is
often better than memorized transactions. It automatically fills
in most transactions based on similar ones already recorded. 
There is no need to memorize and recall.

I do not have QB8. In QB2000 and 2001 surprised me when I could
not find the word QuickFill. I did click on Help (at the left
of the main QB menu), Help Index and get Automatic Transaction
Entry. This goes to Automatically Recall, which leads to the QB
main menu,Edit, Preferences, General (default), My Preferences
and Automatically Recall (bottom). In QB99 I believe it was File,
Preferences ...

In 2000 memorized transactions are in Help, Help Index. There 
are more than 10 sections on how to memorize, group and recall
them. I recall a Preference on Memorized (or perhaps Reminders).
One of the best ways to learn a program is to go down each item 
in program menus and use every option you do not know. It is 
really important that you review ALL the Preferences to find
one change you like. For example, why should QB beep each time
you record an entry or waste your time with warnings when you
edit?

Note that you do not need to recall what you did to remember
something is available. This is the approach I take in QB pre-
release beta tests, when help messages may apply to prior 
versions and things may not work. It is how I twice became 
top QB pre-release beta tester (QB dropped point counts after 
I nearly doubled the #2 tester's point count).

Remember, QB has about 90% of the small business accounting 
program market because its #1 goal has long been simplicity.
It is primarily designed for non-accountants. The odds on 
you being less capable than 4,000,000 users are pretty bad.

Some have simply made mistakes for a much longer time. Some 
have even learned from some of our mistakes. You will too. 

Soon you will be a guru to which others come, because some-
one new starts from scratch daily. You already know things
that work and things that do not, so you are way ahead. If 
you do not reveal what you do not know, you too can teach.

On the other hand, you learn more by asking (preferably
before you get upset).
