              Although I am reletivly new with QUICKEN 4, I seem to
get along pretty good. I have,however, a small problem trying to
create an account for Can.RRSP's.
              An example would be: If I invest $5,000 for 1 year,@ 7%,
and $2000 for 1 year also but for 6.5%, can QUICKEN record the gain
monthly on my investment account?
              Any hint resolving my problem would be greatly
appreciated.

 I don't believe that any version of Quicken will print wallet size
blanks that you would normally get from a bank.  If you have access to
CompuServe there was a share ware program available on their forum that
would do such as you want.  The Quicken forum has been remodeled
recently and I am not sure it is still there.

I had the same problem. It seems as soon as you load a new version, it
goes into the HD and moves all the files to the new version. Although
Quicken 5 for WIN seems to be better, it still frustrates me.

user: You are replying to All about "My Briefcase WIN95".

Write your reply.

assistant: WIN95 and QUICKEN 5
I use two QDF's:  Personal and Business.
Goal:  Develop an icon which activates QUICKEN 5 and the desired file
from the Windows 95 desktop.
When using "My Briefcase" in WIN95, I copied the Quicken Data File
(which has a green "$" as part of the icon, from my QUICKENW directory
to the MYBRIEF~ directory.  When I click on this icon from My
Briefcase, that file becomes the active file and Quicken 5 is started.
The problem is that when I made changes to this file and then
synchronized the file between My Briefcase and the QUICKENW QDF file,
the stock price updates in Portfolio were omitted from the updated
(synchronized) files.
It appears that the convenience of keeping a QDF in My Briefcase is a
bit dangerous--because the synchronization involves more files that the
one QDF file.
This is, in my opinion, a bug or incompatibility of Quicken 5 with
Windows 95 in the utilization of the My Briefcase for frequently used
files.
Does anyone have a suggestion which would allow me to activate either
my Personal or my Business file from the Desktop without first going
through the step of activating Quicken 5 and then selecting the
specific file?

Does this mean that you have given up on Quicken for tracking everything? Are
you using Excel in addition to Quicken? I basically use Quicken for
everything.
I use the NAIC Toolkit program for selecting stocks and Morningstar On Floppy
to select mutual funds.
Yes, I am an Excel user, but I never really learned to do anything with
acros
or some of (make that most of) the functions that Excel has. I do use Excel
quite often for many things. The most complicated spreadsheet I ever made was
when I was trying to decide if I could really afford to retire at the age of
52
(so far so good). That spreadsheet had every income and expense possibility
that I could think of built into it with growth factors applied liberally.

I am using Quicken v. 2 for Windows and have been using it for a few years.
I still have not mastered all of its functions, but do use it with
Chekfree to pay bills.  I also bought a copy for my brother-in-law,
and he uses it a lot.  BTW, both he and I are using Windows 3.1, and have no
plans to change to Win '95.
I'm thinking about upgrading to Quicken v. 5 for Windows, and possibly
buying my brother-in-law a copy as a belated Christmas/birthday present.
What are your opinions on v. 5?  Also, are the "deluxe" and the
"deluxe CD" versions worth the extra money?
I was last in this conference when v. 3 for Windows had just come out
and a number of participants were complaining of various "bugs" in
the program.  How have you found v. 5 for Windows?
Any comments or information will be appreciated.

assistant: Joe,
     I was very happy with my upgrade to version 3 and do version 4.  Both
version do some of the things that I wanted out of version 2.  The quick
fill worked like I wanted it to, and the loans were more flexible if you
paid ahead a little bit.  I always thought the interest should be
calculated on the actual balance.
     I have not upgraded to 5 yet only because I was happy with 4.  I do
plan to get it later since I have upgraded to just about every version
since DOS V 2.0.
     I would say that there are a lot of improvements over v 2.0 and the
upgrad is worth while to 4.0 or 5.0.
     As for the Deluxe version.  I have it with version 3.0, and never
used the extra features.
