Well, I don't about the OP, but I am extraordinarily grateful for this
tip.  I had figured out how to tab out of the last name in the account
hierarchy once I see it auto-expanding to the desired account, but
that only works at the lowest level of the hierarcy.  Ugh...to think
of all the times I unnecessarily typed the entire word "Expenses"
instead of hitting the colon key :-(.  Thanks, Liz
