Duplicate Saved Reports Christopher Lightle 12-22-2007

 In Quicken 2008 I customized and replaced a saved report which was created
and saved many versions ago. I now have two of these reports in my saved
reports list. How do I remove one without removing both?

Thanks,
Chris Lightle

I think one of us is confused. ;-)

I don't think '08 allows you to "replace" a modified report. I believe it
forces you to save a new version, which has no effect on the original.

Either way, if you have 2 reports listed with similar names, they are
different reports. You can remove (or modify) one without any impact on the
other.

After opening and modifying the original saved report I select save, the
default name of the report to be saved is the original report name with a 1
added to the end. I remove the 1, select save, I am prompted to replace the
report, and I select yes. Now in my saved reports list I have two saved
reports with the exact same name. I open each report and both reports
present the same information (as modified). I delete one report and both
reports are deleted from my saved reports list.

Change your report preferences to "Customizing modifies current
report or graph".

When your preferences tell Quicken to create a "new" report when
you customize, then you tell Quicken to use the same name as an
existing report ... Quicken gets confused. You are giving
Quicken conflicting instructions; Quicken should catch the
mistake and tell you it can't do what you ask ... but it
doesn't.

If you truly need a "new"report, give it a "new" name.

I it is not a user problem it is just one of the many bugs in Quicken
2008.

If I create a new report and tell Quicken to save it with the same
name as an existing report and Quicken warns me that I will replace
the existing report and I say yes it is reasonable to expect that the
new report will replace the old one.

BTW, if I give the report a new name Quicken can't find it after it
saves it. Yes I have filed a bug report. Quicken 2008 R5 has a
number of bugs related to report management.
