Sounds just like something Microsoft would say. > There is no "check here to set this account as your default", no, it is a > simple matter of having the account in #1 spot. I didn't say there was.

Dieter, if you don't think its important enough to fix, just say so. I can accept that, because I understand that your time is valuable. But don't get all defensive and blame the users because they are too dumb to use your amazing brilliant "feature". Sheesh, its just a default setting, its not like I'm saying the entire UI is broken and needs to be re-created from scratch! Quick question for the list: how many people actually _like_ the fact that the drop-down defaults to the first item in your chart of accounts? How many people find it useful? -- Steven D'Aprano Operations Manager Cybersource Pty Ltd, ACN 053 904 082 Level 9, 140 Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000 Tel: +61 3 9642 5997 Fax: +61 3 96425998 Web: http://www.cyber.com.au ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
