Thanks Dave, I recently discovered that feature and the reason you mentioned
above is the reason for the savings.  If I can't see it, can't spend it. 8-)

Write your reply.

assistant: I have installed Quicken 5 on my 386 computer and it seems to work fine and
then it freaks out!
When I go to print checks,  the print window will be BEHIND the main quicken
screen and unless I use Alt-Tab to display the print dialogue screen, it will
appear to be frozen.
Even more frustrating is that when all is finally done and I go to CLOSE the
program from the check writing screen,  NOTHING happens and the system locks
up.   I then have to reboot.  I have the LATEST version of quicken  (I think
it is "F") though I am not sure since I am not at home while writing this.
Has anyone else experienced these problems?
Thanks much,
Joe

Write your reply.

assistant: running Quicken Windows on IBM clone: twice: I start up Quicken and it sshows
initial menu, then instead of the register I get the notation "general
protection fault in module QW.exe at 0081:017D and systen hangs till I press
OK; then am sent back to the desktop.  First time I used Scandisk (Windows)
and on restarting computer no error message.
  second time: even after Scandisk I get the message. Tried deleting and
reinstalling Quicken. That gave me a fresh start which would work to enter
new data but I wanted to get back my previous data and use the files again.
I tried to import them but that gave me back my error message.  The help
files in Quicken talk about the faults but do not help me solve the problem.
I ran Scandisk again, defragmented - no use.
  I was running Norton Windows; the Norton System Doctor comes up as I start
Windows; conflict there - I doubt??   Query is: if I just abandon Quicken -
HOW can I reclaim the previous files - into ASCII or some word processor or
some other program where I can read them?
  I gather that there are files created: I saved them as backup to floppies
but I cannot use them, EXCEPT for the notes file - QSD?
  Will some program reclaim Quicken files - I gather that Microsoft Money
exports to Quicken but Quicken exports to nothing???

Send me a copy of your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files. I will look
them over and suggest any changes if necessary.
Please answer:
Are you running Windows 3.1 or Win95?
If running 3.1, what version of DOS?

Try installing Qv.5.0 in a different directory and then import the account
data over to it.   Quicken will recognise it as older account data and will
ask you if you want to convert it.  Just make a backup first;)

Congrats! That's what I'm trying to do!
You want to get rid of the information (account) but you don't want to lose
the information?  I would say that the information is integral to the
count.
If you need the information, then you need the account.  I only keep the past
3 years on my hard drive.  I archive previous years to a floppy.  Once the
account is totally in archive, then I delete it from the file on the hard
drive.  The number of years in your current file is up to you so your mileage
may vary.

I believe that the new ver 5 has the ability to "hide" accounts that

You then have the other file if you need to refer to those transactions.
