It sounds like you want the amount to appear every time you write a check -- rather than having to fill in the amount when you enter it in Transaction Activity. Try this:

1. Go to Transaction Activity and select Tools | Options.
   
2. Check Confirm Amount For New Payee
   
3. Now every time you add a new payee, the amount of that first transaction will be saved and will appear every subsequent time you use that payee.

What about payees that already exist?

1. From the main menu, select Transactions | Automatic Entries.
   
2. Select a payee.
   
3. In the Action Code column, select one of the following action codes (which I will explain further below):
   
   • Constant amount (104)
     
   • Confirm amount & save (105)
     
   • Confirm amount (106)
     
   
   
4. In the Amount column, enter the amount you wish to be saved.
   
5. Now this payee will appear with this amount when you use it in Transaction Activity.
   
6. NOTE: This will have no effect whatsoever on previously entered transactions -- only future ones!
   

Explanation of those Action Codes:
Constant Amount (104)
Whatever amount you put in the Amount column on the Automatic Entry screen will appear every time you use this payee to enter a transaction. You won't have an opportunity to change it until the transaction is completely entered.

Confirm Amount & Save (105)
Confirm the amount of a transaction. You can only use this action code in the first line of a multiple distribution. In addition, the last saved amount of the transaction appears as the default amount the next time that you use the same transaction. A distribution is saved as follows:

• The first line remains unchanged.
  
• Each additional line of a distribution is saved.
  
• All memos are saved.
  
• Accounts and action codes in the original automatic entry not used are removed.
  

Confirm amount {106)
Display a specified constant amount. Financial Navigator always displays this amount, waiting for your confirmation, when you use the automatic transaction.

Yes it is -- the "save" button is just in a different place. In Transaction Activity, select Tools | Save Auto Entry. In 8.0, this will work just like the "Save" button in earlier versions.
