Images not attaching, or missing

A follow up... My quicken file is in "MY DOCUMENTS" which on my computer resides on my D: Drive... Apparently Quicken would like it to reside on my C: Drive, but I do NOT want to do this, as I don't like "MY DOCS" or any of my data to be on my OS's partition. The attached image is indeed in the attatchments subfolder within the Quicken Data folder, but Quicken can't seem to find it, even tho the program put the image there itself.

I've successfully attached PDFs to accounts in QP2006, and my data file resides in a subdirectory of My Documents on drive D. No problems here.... Haven't tried other file types though.

Margaret, Do those files reside directly in "attach," or in sub-directories?

They are in subdirectories within the Attach folder. I've only attached two PDFs to one account, so I haven't seen how it handles attachments with multiple accounts. BTW, the attachments are not compressed and remain in their native format.

Well... Issue sort of solved. Once I moved the entire file out of MY DOCUMENTS, the images showed up. Quicken apparently knows how to store the images in the right place, even when the master data file lives within MY DOCS, the viewer just doesn't know how to find them. Go figure... Intuit strikes again

Thanks for your help Margaret

Hmm, I'm wondering if this is a "long filename," in this case long directory name issue. I have renamed My Documents to Data, and mine works fine. Just some more food for thought. :-)

I have always stored my Quicken files in My Documents to facilitate backup. When I started attaching files, Quicken established an Attach folder in My Documents. I have not experienced any problems whatsoever with this structure.
