Deactivate account Larry Waibel 12-27-2007

My Prudential retirement account is activated for one-step (Q2007) but is
showing a negative cash balance so it looks like something wasn't right with
a download. When I try to deactivate it (so I can then activate it again and
try another download), it won't deactivate. It says it is deactivating and
refreshing but then when it comes back the button is still to deactivate and
not activate. Is there some way to manually force it to deactivate so I can
activate it again? Thanks!

Have you tried quitting Q2007, then starting it up again? Not that doing
so would help <grin>.

Quicken is a database program and to protect against data loss, it will
write to disk the record that you are entering or editing as soon as you
hit enter, or accept a download. Therefore I will bet that your
actvities are now part of the file set already. File set, because each
Quicken "File" consists of several files with different extensions, but
the same main name, such as "MyData" - the extension being qdf, etc. So
always use Quicken to make backups or copies!

If you have let Quicken make backups, try to think when your records were
OK last. Then go through the restore and rename roiutines to see whether
the records in the backup are indeed OK. Then you will have to redo the
downloads. Because the information as to which transactions have already
been downloaded are recoirded in one of the quicken data files, that
should be possible, as long as your Financial Institution still has the
data available.

I did a super validate and it found some errors with that account and
corrected them and then I was able to deactivate/activate. Still has a
negative cash amount but I'll just OSU for a few days and hope it finally
corrects itself.

If there are entries in the account(s) that are in error, you will have to
go and find them, then correct them. Updates or downloads won't correct
that, unless you make a correcting entry, and that is fudging, which won't
help at all in stock transactions.
