Yeah, living old-timers is surely quite a scare for Money team, we see
various kinds of nods to the expectations of functionality and accuracy
every day.

In the future, today's newcomers will be probably in the same position
compared to then-newcomers, so Money team by then will be hiding things like
essential register as unnecesserily complex. Care to guess what will be new
features for the new newcomers?

I may have misled you by telling you there was a Bills Summary icon on the
top. It's not there anymore in a newly created file. You only get the
shortcuts when you force the issue.

I think the Money team has a conscious plan to hide virtually every feature
in the program from new users so that when the old timers die they can take
these features away and none of the new-post-2004 users will ever notice.

On the Bills Summary page to the left is a Change bill settings link. Click
there and follow the dialog boxes to change to Advanced Bills. There is also
a setting at Tools|Settings|Bill settings.

You will probably want to do the same on the registers. (There used to be a
global setting to change all accounts to Advanced Register. I can't find it
anymore. The best I can find is:

Use these steps to switch an account between the Essential and Advanced
Registers.
1.. Click Banking, and then click Account List.
2.. Click the name of an account.
3.. In the left pane, under Other tasks, click Change account settings.
4.. Under Register Detail, click:
Switch to the Advanced Account Register

-or-

Switch to the Essential Account Register

5.. Follow the instructions on the screen. )
Also, this would be easier on everyone if you'd keep the discussion in one
thread while we stay on the same subject.

If you can only create bills, and not deposits, try changing to the advanced
bills/deposits, rather than using 'essential' bills and deposits.

When I went to "new" under 'bill summary" under HOME, it only gives me the
option to create a new bill, ie something I am paying to some one out of my
checking or savings. I need to enter a recurring paycheck.
When I right click on previous direct deposits in my register, I get the
option to change the name but there is still no where on there to make it
recurring.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me out, it's much appreciated1
