Q05 Dlx: Can't run reports after update

When I started Q05 Deluxe this evening, it asked if I wanted to update Quicken. I don't recall it ever wanting to do that before. I said OK, and it opened a One Step Update internet progress box. Some time later, it finished and asked to start Quicken.



I now find that many of the built in reports do not work. I'll select the report name from the menu, and nothing happens.



Some work, some don't. Cash Flow - Cash Flow doesn't work, but Cash Flow - Cash Flow Comparison does.



Restarting Quicken, and rebooting, have not helped.



About Quicken says Quicken 05 Deluxe Release R 5, before and after the update.



Anyone else seeing this?

No one ever replied to this post, but the problem was caused by nonsensical values being stored in Quicken's Edit - Preferences - Quicken Program - Reports and Graphs area. I think the ending date was before the beginning date, don't really recall. I assume this was caused by the automatic update of Quicken but have no proof.

No, I don't think it had anything to do with any Quicken update.

Quicken versions prior to Q2006 have had problems with maintaining correct values for Quicken Program Preferences.

Referring specifically about Q2005:

One problem is that having (opening) multiple Quicken data files can cause unwanted (*unentered*) alterations to Quicken Preferences that affect all Quicken files. (I believe this problem has been fixed in Q2006 because each Quicken data fileset in Q2006 has its own "Preferences").

Another problem I have observed is that file corruption can cause a permanent invalid date to be used as the "from" date for reports that want a date range of "All dates". I have a test Quicken fileset where the from date for "all dates" is "250/190/1900" ... preventing any report from being created with the date range of "All dates".
