Write your reply.

assistant: Well, to try and get some traffic going here, I thought I'd post a message
about a small but aggravating problem I have with Quicken Windows v5 and v6.
Every once in a while, Quicken will automatically make a backup of my data
files in a backup directory. I have this function turned off, but it does it
anyway.  Additionally, when it makes the backup, it renames my data files to
the name I used when I first started using Quicken.  For example, when I
first started using Quicken, my data file was LOCKE-91. The data file I use
now is LOCKE-97. When Quicken does it's auto backup, it names the backed up
files in the backup directory LOCKE-91, even though those data files no
longer exist! The contents of the backup\LOCKE-91 files are identical to the
current LOCKE-97 files. It's really weird.
Ideas anyone?

I think the Club Accounting Software will also prepare the K2's along
with other functions. I haven't really kept track of the current
versions. If you have access to the internet, you can go to the NAIC
home page at www.better-investing.org. You can order products or even
download demo copies of the various products.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello all,
I'm just getting this echo for the first time, so I'm unsure
of the activities in here.  Does anyone have an answer for
this?
Is there a way in QBooks to enter a common charge to a
pre-defined group of customers' accounts?  I have 2 situations
that this would work for.  One is when using QB for running an
association's books where the only income is from members'
dues.  I would like to post the annual dues to all of the
accounts and use the acct rec to track this activity, but
don't want to enter 200 redundant entries.
The other is for an orthodontist friend who would like to
handle his contract based practice more simply.  He needs to
take a pre-arranged agreement....example:  a $3,000 procedure
over a 2 year period, $1200 covered by patient's insurance
with the balance paid through monthly amounts due over the 2
year service period.
I hope this hasn't been too brief a description and thanks
ahead for any advice.
Regards,
-=Craig=-

    It seems to me it is identical to Craig Schroeder's problem.
    I have 200 customers.  I sell them one service at one price.  I invoice
them once a year.  The only variable is the multiple of the one price; it
varies for each of the 200 customers.
    That is to say, there are 200 different multiplying factors, one for each
customer but each customer only ever has the one multiplying factor.  It
never changes for him.
    So, when I create an invoice I bring up the price from the Item list but
then I have to manually enter the variable multiplying factor.
    Is there any way I can permanently record the multiplying factor for each
customer so that it comes up with his name in the address box or can I insert
it from some drop-down list?
    If I haven't explained myself well enough, let me know and I'll try

IN THE DRIVE at the time of the boot-up.  Windows then designated my
D drive as [QW*]D: and it works perfectly.  Then when I need to use one
of my BORLAND C-Ds' for programming I have to do the same thing, insert
the Borland disk and reboot to get Windows to redesignate it as [BORLAND]D:
