Question regarding setup of 401(k) account

Nov 26, 2005 1 Replies

Running Q 2003 Dlx on XP Pro.



My wife recently started an new job with a 401k plan, so I set about setting up a new account to track it. In previous incarnations of Quicken (I've been using it since about v4) I simply set up 401k's as asset or investment acccounts, but since there is now a specific 401k account type, I thought I'd use it.



The problem I'm having is that when the setup gets to "Enter name and value of a 401(k) Security" it demands a value greater than zero. But the first payroll deduction hasn't yet been made -- the current value



*IS* zero! So, how does one deal with this?

I never used Q2003, but in later versions, you do not have to enter any security information when you are setting up the account. If you can skip that part of the setup dialog, do so.
