Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
Not having any accounting experience I am not sure how the transfers fit into
the Budget. Could anyone explain how I can do the following things.
- When I pay a Credit Card Bill I make a transfer between my Checking Accout
and the Credit card Account. This appears to show up in the budget. My
problem is, when I spent the money on my credit card I put the item it's
budget catigory (ie  Dinner, Gas, etc). If the payment is also included in
the budget would this not cause the same expense to be there twice therefore
making it appear that I have spent twice as much as I have.
- How would I show some Transfers but not all, or does it make any
difference. Tranfers such as Checking to Cash on Hand I don't want to appear
as part of my budget actuals. Transfers such as Checking to my Car Loan I do.
Can I select certain transfer from Checking and not others or an I looking at
this whole thing from the wrong angle
Thanks
Steve

Dear Echo Moderator,
In appreciation of the task you perform I would like to assist you, well
atleast in my capacity. <g> My capacity is that of a fidonet node SysOp. How
do I intend to assist?  Well as a SysOp, my  responsibility is to control
mail flowing into the net from my node, and I would like to post the echo
rules for each echo my system  carries...... Attempt to forewarn folks :-)
I have been scanning for echo rules, but this is becoming time consuming and
tedious. So in an effort to capsulize this task as much as possible 1:205/12
would be very appreciative, if you could post your echo rules  next time you
have a chance.
Would you please post your echo rules?
Take Care

Write your reply.

assistant: TO: all!
I know that QUICKEN 6 has the ability to Shrink a file down to size by taking
all transactions from the top of the year and moving them to another file.
What I would like to know is the proper way to take all transactions and do
this so nothing is lost and maybe seperate the years while keeping the order
right so that if an account was open last year and not this year, it properly
show through.
My files are on line and go back to 1989. I am running on a 286 with no high
memory right now. I was running on an AT&T 6300 with a V30 chip and about the
same amount of memory. There be B-I-G Files here, Kids!
Opening this daily is a little like singing "SPRING TIME FOR HITLER" at a Bar
Mitzvah.
If not now, someday you will be sorry.
Anyone having any ideas, please speak up

assistant: I have been using V.4 DOS for a long time and I have been printing my

a "template" into which I slip the check to align it and then just print.
Everything aligns except the date which I have "blocked out" with my
template. I hand-write the date, sign it and that's it.

assistant: So John sez to all he sez:
I use Quicken 3 for Windows, but I believe you will find similar features in
DOS 6 version.  I keep about 3 years of history on my hard drive and all the
older years on floppy.
I select "Year End Copy" from the File menu.  Once there, Q3W presents two
choices, "Archive" and "Start New Year".  First, I run "Archive".  This
copies the selected range of dates to the floppy.  Then, I run "Start New
Year".  This writes (to a new file) all transactions after a selected date.
It also protects uncleared transactions before the selected date.  Once the
new file is created, you do what you wish with the old file, but start using
the new file for daily transactions.
I'm not sure what you're concerned about when you say "keeping the order
right".  Quicken will automagically maintain the balance of the account
correctly by starting the account with a new opening balance.

I use a 24 pin dot matrix printer with cheques ordered from NEBS.  You may
not have that company in the US.  I'm pleased with them except that they are
larger than the regular cheque so it means having some from the bank as well

assistant: Some recent messaging about Quicken's password prompts this - don't
depend on it.  I retrieved a passworded account for a friend's business
because he didn't even remember making the account.  It was a record a
former employee made of petty theft.  It's fairly easy to crack, but
Quicken probably wouldn't appreciate me explaining, so I won't.  Passwords
on your programs are moderate security against casual snooping, but if you
want real security, keep the data records on removable media and always
take it with you to store in a secure place.  This isn't a critisism of
Quicken; no data on your hard drive is really secure, some are just easier
to crack than others.
