I can't speak for other credit cards but the Quicken card works nicely.
The interest rate may not be the best (16.65% on Sept statement), but the
best way to use any credit card is to pay it off each month.  Then it
wouldn't matter a whole bunch which card you had - just go for the
convenience - in this case, getting electronic statements.

Quicken Companion has been around for a few years and is an adjunct to
Quicken.
The features of the Quicken Companion have been incorporated into Quickken
Deluxe. these features are the Home Inventory (well worth the price),
Estimated
tax computer, Q-Quote.
I did not buy Quicken Deluxe because I just felt that it was not worth the
$59.

assistant: On 09-07-95 @ 21:44, ERNEST BEHRLE wrote to ALL  about SUB-ACCOUNTING:
I started a SAVINGS GOAL to have $500 by 1 Dec in an account called
OVERDRAFT.  This "account" is *separate* from but tied directly into my
checking account; i.e., each account has it's own balance but each
balance is tied into my checking balance.  I can contribute and withdraw
funds as needed.  I use this account" as my "overdraft protection."
To set up a savings goal:
1.  From the Plan menu, choose Savings Goals.
2.  Click New.
3.  Enter a name, amount, and finishing date for the savings goal.  The
    name you enter will be the name of the account used to track the
    savings goal.
4.  Click OK.  The Savings Goals window shows your Projected Monthly
    Contribution in the lower right corner of the window.  This is the
    amount that you should set aside each month in order to achieve your
    goal.
*How* *can* *I* *see* *my* *actual* *bank* *balance* *when* *I* *have*
*money* *in* *a* *savings* *goal* *account?*
When you set aside money in a savings goal account, Quicken keeps track
of both your actual bank balance (what your bank statement will say) and
the balance of your account without the money you've set aside for your
savings goal.
To see your actual bank balance:
Select the Hide Goal Txns. checkbox in the register of the account
you've contributed money from.
I think this answers your question.  Let us know if we can help you

assistant: Hi David,
I didn't see your original message but saw a reply.  There's a bug in the
program.  If you go to bottom of the register and then scroll up line by
line, you should see the correct values and balances as you scroll back down.
However, the fix won't hold.
I reported this to Intuit and called a couple of other times but they say
they can't duplicate it.  I was able to get things back in line by going back
a few days and pulling a backup off tape and reentering a few days
transactions. You might be able to restore one of Quicken's backups and
accomplish the same thing but I'm not sure.
Are you running it under OS/2 by any chance?

and bank account.  These are the ones I keep and then all transfers
are between them.  There really is no reason for sub accounts.  Unless

assistant: Ernest, my wife and I run our checking account pretty much the same way
as you do, and I haven't found a good solution to this problem in
Quicken either.  I just keep a single checking account in Quicken and
continue to maintain the paper checkbook registers as always.  With
luck, the balance in the Quicken account should equal the balances in
the two checkbooks.
You might be able to do this with "classes."  Quicken optionally allows
you to designate a class for each transaction in addition to a category.
 So you could set up two classes, "Ernest" and "Mrs. Ernest" (sorry),
and assign each deposit and each check to the appropriate class.  But I
haven't tried this because it looks like too much trouble, and I don't
know whether there is any simple way to keep a running balance in each
class.
Good luck and let me know if you find any better answers!

assistant: You would be better off buying the checks.  The check printing programs are
expensive for the simple reason that they must print the magnetic
characters.  By the time you invest in the paper, the program etc you will
have spent enough to buy a whole lot of checks.
Why not find a different souce for checks?

assistant: I just had the same problem in a credit union account. Called intuit
tech support and they stepped me through a fix. I wish I had written it
all down. Took about a 5 minute call via long distance.  The process
involves shutting down quicken then re starting it while holding down
the Cntrl key and one other I think the "D" key and starting quicken.
This starts quicken with no file selected. Then she had me select file
and select it while holding down control "Z". Then we copied the file to
a new name called "TEST".  I then open this file and everything was OK.
so I deleted the old file and renamed the test file to a new name and am
now using it.
The techie said that everyone should re-index their files every month or
so. You will find the re-index area under file/file operations. There
are about 5 options there including re index.  It apparently cleans up
the files and organizes them better. Suffix B in my Quicken 3 book on
page 370 discusses this and gives some commands.
I suggest that you call intuit to get stepped through this.  I had an
account that was correct the month before then all off a sudden had A
$1000 error. I could get it correct by going to the start of the file
then stepping through it but when I came to certain point the error
would reoccur to the previous step and would follow me backwards. I
tried reentering it retransfering it etc all to no avail.
Only the copying of the file which automatically re indexes fixed the
problem. Tech Support said copying reindexes much more thoroughly than
just re indexing.
Hope this helps

Greg, if you are using a laser printer or inkjet printer, be sure to compare
the check cost to the cost of the "disposables" (i.e., paper and ink) you

 There is a file "Qcheck.zip" (Quick Checks) that allows Quicken 4
Windows users to print checks using ANY regular bank check.  By using
Quicks you can avoid having to buy special checks to print FROM Quicken.
 There is an evaluation copy in the Intuit forum on CIS and most likely
other places.
 Hope this helps.
