Tips:
In the Filter's Memo field, you can type all or part of a word. For instance, if you type 'computer' and don't find any transactions, the word could be misspelled on the transaction. Replace 'computer' with 'comput' and choose Find again.
In QuickBooks 2002 and above, the Detail Level default is 'Summary only.'
In QuickBooks 2001 and earlier, the Detail Level default is 'All.'
