Quicken 2008 Billminder oddness.

When Billminder comes up and says I have transactions due, I click on "Run Quicken" and Quicken opens as it should but Billminder remains open and I have to close it manually. I recall all the previous versions of Quicken closed Billminder as Quicken opened.

It's not a problem, more of a curiousity, but I'm wondering why 2008 should behave differently from previous versions?

Here's the official answer found on the Quicken forum when the same question was asked:

"In quicken 2008, the bill minder will not close automatically. You need to close it manually. In the earlier versions of quicken, the bill minder used to close automatically but in quicken 2008 this feature has been changed. The bill minder does not close automatically in quicken

2008."

Weird, anyone know of a way to change that?

Again, it's not really a problem but I'd prefer it as it was in previous versions.

In previous versions of Quicken, it was not possible to run Billminder when Quicken was running, so when you started Quicken from Billminder, Billminder would shut down.

Now Billminder can run at the same time Quicken is running, so the automatic shutdown is no longer necessary.

I know of no option to force Billminder to close when Quicken is opened.

Thanks but it's still desirable and, IMHO and that of others, it is still necessary, I'm not alone in wanting it to close automatically.

From the same URL: "IMHO, they just forgot to make this happen. There is absolutely NO GOOD REASON to keep Billminder running after you've launched Quicken."

I was hoping, the above information is a few weeks old.

I agree with the above poster, it's got to be a mistake by Intuit, not an intentional "feature."
