Quicken 2006P Went Catatonic on ! Nov

John, I said I "WISHED" I could say that I had a "boatload" of transactions....... actually I have very few transactions.....and even less money!!

Thanks for your reply!

My apologies; wished I'd read your post more carefully.

Hammer - agreed! I didn't say YOU had to fix it. I said to work with them; making them aware of the problem thru a bug report is the method + whatever else they might need to do like verify something with you (eg:: size or # of transactions in your investment registers). Sorry if you mistook my meaning there; didn't mean to slight you in particular.

Andrew - Agreed. Also, I'll post a follow-up when I get a response from my email to Q's tech support detailing the error.

This is a bug similar to the estimated tax bug several years ago. Qkn would not open on 01/01/0? (can't remember which year) if you had scheduled estimated taxes, state &/or fed. The fix was to set the system clock back to

You actually did not have to restore your data, just remove or change the scheduled tax entries while the date was set back.

Be careful, I got really bitched at in this NG for saying Tech Support likes to tell you you have corrupted data (and have a VERY retarded set of steps in place in their toolbox for "proving" this to the customer before turning a deaf ear).

I both posted it and reported it :)

OK, here's the official answer from Quicken. There is no problem. Just because Quicken hangs up on November 1st and runs normally when you set the date back to October 31st does not indicate a problem. Happy Halloween and Have a Great Day and Thank You For Using Quicken........ by the way, the manual update will not run if you have already updated Quicken to R3.

Interestingly, I am checking here because my Mac version of Q2006 just died. I used it Oct 31 to pay bills. Tried to launch it tonight and it hangs.

I was h> Tried resetting date back to 11/1/2005. Quicken hangs.

I just got Q06 mac (after Oct 31) and it works fine, more or less. [I'm a new mac user and haven't adjusted to floating windows all over the place. So the program doesn't feel right.]

Once you get used to having a free desktop to work, you will wonder how anyone could have been so stupid as to come up with the parent window constraint that Windoze uses.

In XP, Microsoft Word uses the "right" user interface, but Excel insists on that stupid master window nonsense. I have hated that for years. On the Mac, I can spread my Excel sheets across multiple monitors and then just have one in front at a time, while referring to something in another program entirely.

This really is one of the better UI changes on the Mac. It takes a little while to get used to the freedom, but it will be well worth it once you make the adjustment.
