Post subject:  Batch processing of entries?

Is it possible within CBP to change To/From, Descriptions or similar fields across a range of entries? Example, each B of A ATM entry starts out with the same first few letters, but then adds dates and other items in the field, making each one unique. Rather than having to change each one (about 60) to B A-ATM withdraw, I would rather change all at once.

The goal is to have a report of all To/Froms at the end of a period, but if the name has the slightest difference, each one gets a total. Of course I could export to Excel, change there, and re import, but it would be easier if CBP had this capability.

You can change entries in groups using CheckBook Pro. Just select the entries you want to modify, and hit the change button. Keep in mind, the field you are modifying will be the same for all of the entries. If there are unique pieces to each field, those will be replaced with your new content for those fields.

If you only want to replace part of a field and retain the rest as unique to each entry, you are better off doing that in an external editor using something like find and replace.

Thanks Randy, that is exactly what I needed.
