Quicken 2005 Annoyance

This has come up before, so you might want to search for an answer. However, from my own experience, I have only had this problem when the transaction toolbar is enabled (I find that annoying anyway so I turn it off). You can try disabling it with Edit/Preferences/Quicken Program/Register/Show Transaction Toolbar. I could be wrong about this connection, but I reinstalled Quicken recently and the problem you described had come back (Toolbar is enabled by default). After disabling the toolbar, the registers have been working nicely with the last transaction showing.

Hope this helps, Peter

Thanks for the reply, Peter. Unfortunately, your suggestion did not fix the problem.

Best regards, Robert

My experience is that this only happens at the auto-startup (in Preferences). Any other account you open then (even the same one) wont do it any more.

In my case, I discovered this was a bad plan anyway, as I needed it to open the Home page first so I could see scheduled stuff. That is where I track my personal stuff I need to do, for example like doctors appointments (via a scheduled $0 transaction).

So disabling auto-startup in Preferences ended the situation.

Not sure about fixing it, but if you tap the space bar the cursor will jump to where you want it to be.

Just curious...is this your biggest complaint about Quicken?

(Just kidding, I couldn't resist, considering the volume of wild ranting complaints I see in this newsgroup.)

Yeah, I guess it's not very high on Intuit's priority list so it may never get fixed. I only use Quicken for printing checks and maintaining a bank account. It works great for that, except for this one little irritation.
