In Quicken, you work with one account at a time. The logic is simple: You record income and expenses for a particular account — a specific checking account, savings account, and so on.

You use the Cash Flow Center window to tell Quicken which account you want to work with because Quicken provides clickable hyperlinks (technically called QuickTabs) that you can use to move to the account.

To display the Cash Flow Center window, click the Cash Flow Center button. You can also use the Cash Flow menu to get to the Cash Flow Center. To do this, choose Cash Flow, Go to Cash Flow Center from the menu bar.

After you display the Cash Flow Center window, select the account you want by clicking the account name. Quicken displays the register window for that account.
