For one thing, the default starting field is the date, rather than the
number. That might not sound like much but it just seemed to flow
easier.

What made it easier? Seems like the number of keystrokes would have been
about the same.

I'll add that I never used abbreviations before but found them useful.
A few payees she used were common (e.g., Wal-Mart) but were not the
alphabetically first or second in the list after typing the first
character. I used 2-character or 1-numeral abbreviations on very
common payees to great benefit.

Not always true, Dick. I just manually entered a years' worth of
credit card data while recording my Mom's financial history. It was
easier with forms enabled than with direct register entry. Believe me,
I was looking for shortcuts.

For routine data entry, I concur.

Transaction Forms are for beginners who don't want to do perfectly
reasonable things like this. Turn them off. You will never miss them.

I don't think it was different programmers, I think it was different
expectations of what users used which element of the UI for what purposes.

Did you find Ctrl+T yet?

So I found the answer (this is Money 2007), you turn off the checkbox to show
transactions forms and edit the transaction in the list. For some reason
(two different people programmed those two sections and we'ren't totally in
sync), it lets you change the accout you are crediting be it an
asset/liability account or an expense account ("category")

Why is Money not letting me change a transfer to an expense? I know
Microsoft thinks they are protecting me--but I have an expense that I
classified as an Account Receivable (I was going to file it on an expense
report at work), later, I decided that I would not be able to expense it at
work and now need to change that transaction from an Asset Account to Asset
Account transfer to an Asset Account to Expense Account chargeoff. Why can't
I do this? How do I tell money "I know what I am doing please let me do
this?"
