Reconcile/Download problem

I think you are misunderstanding the message.

Quicken is not suggesting that you change from reconciling to a paper statement. Quicken is suggesting that you have some transactions that have not yet been downloaded, and implying that you *might* need those transactions for your reconcile.

It will not hurt to download those transactions; you will still be able to reconcile to your paper statement. Likewise, if you have already downloaded all the transactions you need for your reconcile, skipping the download, at that point, will not hurt either.

Do a download right before starting your reconcile.

Hi John, I wanted the prompting to download the transactions to stop. I vaguely remember someone else had the same problem and there was a proceedure to reset the message so that when you did the reconcile with paper, the prompt to download transactions did not pop up. I may be confused, I thought that started after I tried downloading transactions from my bank as a test. Many thanks for your help. Best, Bob

Are you suggesting that you do not want to download transactions at all ... ever. If so, "Deactivate" the account for transaction download; I suspect that will stop the message from popping up.

Otherwise, I know of no way to eliminate that message.
