Attachments still broken in Q2008r4 TealMama 12-07-2007

I can attach multiple .pdf documents to a register entry although I cannot
delete attachments. I get the following error message: "The process cannot
access the file because it is being used by another process". Any ideas on
why I cannot DELETE an attachment?

Thanks
Chris Lightle

Yes the process that is still using the attachment is Adobe Acrobat.
Quicken is to stupid to stop the viewer, THEN delete the attachment. The
only way to delete it is to go into the directory that holds the attachments
and delete it manually.

I wonder if all the differences could maybe boil down to which OS we're
using ??? I'm using Vista Home Premium. I have no Attachment icons and
can only attach 1 graphic file (that I can see). However, if I attempt
to attach others and then go back and delete the one showing, then the
next one I attached will pop-up so apparently the attachments are
attaching, just not showing. Weired.

I am also using Vista Home Premium and am experiencing exactly the same
thing. The funny thing is if I attach non graphic files (.pdf, .doc, .xls)
everything is fine. I think the problem may be in the program that is the
default viewer for attachments does not play well with Quicken. My default
viewer is Windows Live Photo Gallery. What is yours?

Interesting thought Mark. I wasn't sure so I had to go look it up. It
appears that my default viewer for .jpg (which is the extension on
Quicken attachments) is, Windows Photo Gallery. Is that the same as
Windows LIVE Photo Gallery?

I have to admit though that when I go directly to the attachment file
in Explorer and double-click it, it opens in Photo Gallery which doesn't
look like the same viewer that the attachment opens in, wh en opened
from within Quicken, so I'm not too sure. Is there some place in Quicken
to verify what viewer Quicken is using ??
