Editing Bill Reminder Problems (Variable Amount choices greyed out)

Sep 20, 2008 2 Replies

Anyone know why sometimes when attempting to edit a scheduled transaction/payment the variable amount choices are not the same each time? On some that I've attempted editing I have 4 types of estimates (when I click on Change under Variable amount in the Edit Bill Reminder window). Generally "Do not estimate", "Estimated Amount", "Estimate from last # payments" and "estimate from 1 year ago" are all available. But on some only the "Do not estimate" and "Estimated amount" are available. The other two are greyed out. I've not been able to determine any difference between the types of Transactions that would account for it.



It's rather annoying as I've a couple of Scheduled Transactions that I would like to change to "Estimate from 1 year ago" instead of the fixed "Estimated Amount" that I had in 2008. Any ideas why this might be and/or what I can do to corret it?



TIA


Quicken won't compute estimates for scheduled transactions with splits.

I doubt there is any way around the limitation.

Hey Thanks John. It does indeed look like that may well be the reason. Never occurred to me. I'd noticed they were split transactions, but figured it would l ikely compute from the total, but apparently I figured wrong. .

Thanks again.
