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: http://www.quickencommunity.com/webx/.eff3dec/0?13 "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. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor John Pollard Guest Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 5:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 Billminder oddness.

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. -- John Pollard First initial underscore Last name at mchsi dot com Please reply to newsgroup Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor XS11E Guest Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 11:05 pm    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 Billminder oddness.

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." Quote: I know of no option to force Billminder to close when Quicken is opened. 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." -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Accounting Talk Forum Index -> Quicken All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Accounting Talk----------------Accounting TalkPeachtreeQuickbooksQuicken  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum 68 Attacks blocked Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
