Write your reply.

assistant: If the two files don't have ANY transactions in common then there shouldn't
be a problem. However if there are any common transactions or if the dates
overlap then you will have problems. While I have never done anything like
that I would suggest tracking down and eliminating all duplicate transactions
and make sure the dates of the  two files don't overlap. Also make sure that
the newest file doesn't have an adjustment transaction that corrects for any
missing transactions that are in the earlier file. If it does you will have
to delete it.

At first I could not see any borders until changing the top and left
side positions in the QUICKEN.INI file.  Then after using the window,
the setting in the .ini file are changed.  When I first looked at
these setting were WindowTop=-40 and WindowLeft=-88. Changing these
to + numbers allowed the top and left sides to be viewed, but I've
not been able to reach the other two. The buttons are partialy
covered but I can point to at least a portion of each.  After a few

screen. I'm new to Windoz and may be missing an easy solution.  Thanks

assistant: Hi Ron
        This solution works not only in Quicken, but also in any
Windows program.  Open the window you want to move: click on the
"title bar" with left button, hold down and drag the window
until you can see the right and bottom, if that is what you want
to resize.  Turn loose the button, then move the pointer over the
border until it turns into a double headed pointer, click left
button and hold down, drag until border is resized to your
satisfaction, then repeat first step by moving entire window by
clicking on title bar and moving entire window until positioned
like you want it.
        Good luck.

assistant: How is it covered? Is it running off the edge of the screen or is it in
another window and running off the edge of the window. If its in another
window expand that window if its running off the edge of the screen then
move the widow so that it is in the top left corner of the screen. Then
you will be able to move the right and bottom edges to make the window
larger.

assistant: Thanks Dave.  I have 3 windows, Program manager, Quicken CD for
Windows and Tax Quotes which is the active window.  It fills the
screen with the bar at the top and the left border (by the "-"
button on the bar) is at the left edge of the screen.  The right
border of the bar has the Minimize and Maximize buttons and the
right border of the Quotes window is next to the right side of
the moniter screen.  This border cuts through the help and cal-
cuator buttons, and between the low and what should be the volume/
News column.  When I move the Quotes Window to the left the whole
window moves, but not the relative position of the Border as
described above.  If I grab the border with the curser, it does
not move. The "move and size" options do not seem to have any
effect either. If I atempt to change the size ofthe Quicken CD
window I'm popped out of Quicken.
I also have a size problem with Tax Plan window. Its right and bottom
borders are well off the screen.  While I haven't been able to change
the size of this screen, I can move the data in the window about.
I hate to fiddle around with my fonts since the other screen are fine.
I just loaded FS5.1 and found that my Video card doesn't cut it.
Perhaps that's my problem here.  Thanks again for your comments.  Ron

assistant: Like a previous person who responded I use Quicken for DOS v.8.  In
addition and/or separately you may want to use the feature that allows
you to set up separate files. If I understand you correctly, your main
objective is to run two different businesses from Quickbooks.  If you
have separate checking accounts and separate accounts and payables, it
would make sense to run those as seaparate files.  Using Quicken, I do
the same thing (I also do for Timeslips but that is another matter).  I
assume that for tax purposes if you are NOT incorporated, you file
separate Schedule Cs; separate files for separate businesses seems like
what you need.

assistant: Vernon no apology is necessary as I probably did not make my self
clear. I've been using windows since last January but am a slow, lazy
learner.  When I somehow pushed the Quotes Window Program Bar up
completely off the screen a number of knowledgeable windows experts
did not come up with the easy correction.  After searching for week
I found the answer in "Windows 3.1 for Dummies".  Things are usually
