• Same Snippet Among Others Does Not Execute

  I have a series of snippets to fill out a form in the Quicken program. Each snippet is written to execute as the others but one does not. Instead of filling out the text, it just pastes the command line into the box in the program.  Here are some of the very similar snippets:
  Snippet 1:  {&SetKeyDelay:50}Food:Groceries{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
  Snippet 2:  {&SetKeyDelay:50}House:Kitchen{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
  Snippet 3:  {&SetKeyDelay:50}House:Laundry{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
  Snippet 4:  {&SetKeyDelay:50}House:Bathroom{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
  
  The problem: Snippets 1, 2, and 4 (as well as others not listed but formatted the same) perform as intended. They put in the text, move the cursor 3 spaces and stop, allowing me to enter an amount for the item the snippet describes.
  However, Snippet 3 only inserts the command words into the first box which has the focus in the form.
  
  I have tried everything except erasing the entire menu and starting over. I have retyped the Snippet text, but nothing changes the fact that Snippet 3 will not deliver the proper keystrokes, while all of the others do as intended.
  
  What can explain this behavior?
  Thanks,
  Ken

  Hi Ken,
  
  Make sure the "Macro mode" is selected for this snippet. Only in this mode the code {Tab} is "translated" into a tab key.

  That was the answer. Just that one snippet was still in text mode.
  Thanks
