Paycheque bugs?

Quicken 2005 GX... I'm trying to set up my paycheque. Are there bugs here?

I set it for "Twice a month", starting "April 15th", on the 15th and last day of the month, add my Salary and deductions and click Done. The homepage shows the transaction occuring on the 1st and no second transaction in the month. I go back to the paycheque schedule and find that it's set to start "April 1st", "Twice a month", on the 1st and last day of the month.

I also noticed that you can create a schedule with a negative Net amount. If you edit it, you will be told "The net deposit must not be negative", even though it let you create it previously. Even if you enter a salary amount to make the Net amount positive you will still get this error UNLESS you add the salary amount and click done WITHOUT exiting that salary amount entry box.

So, how can I set my paycheque up to come out on the 15th and last day of the month?????

My mistake... It's Quicken 2005 XG, release R2.

I have Q2005 Deluxe, for Windows, US. I see no bugs in the scheduling of transactions, paycheck or otherwise. It's always possible that the Canadian version will have problems not found in the US version.

This is normal; Quicken only shows one instance of a schedule transaction in the Bills and Scheduled Transactions List (or in the Scheduled Transactions tab of the appropriate account). Once you process the visible instance of the scheduled transaction, the next instance will appear (assuming it's other criteria warrant it).

I can't duplicate this.

Try creating a New Quicken file. Create one account and create a scheduled paycheck transaction to be entered on the 15th and last day of the month. Does the scheduled transaction retain the correct schedule? Even after you exit Quicken and restart?
