Editing Bill Reminder Problems (Variable Amount choices greyed out) TealMama 09-20-2008

Anyone know why sometimes when attempting to edit a scheduled
transaction/payment the variable amount choices are not the same each
time? On some that I've attempted editing I have 4 types of estimates
(when I click on Change under Variable amount in the Edit Bill Reminder
window). Generally "Do not estimate", "Estimated Amount", "Estimate from
last # payments" and "estimate from 1 year ago" are all available. But
on some only the "Do not estimate" and "Estimated amount" are available.
The other two are greyed out. I've not been able to determine any
difference between the types of Transactions that would account for it.

It's rather annoying as I've a couple of Scheduled Transactions that I
would like to change to "Estimate from 1 year ago" instead of the fixed
"Estimated Amount" that I had in 2008. Any ideas why this might be
and/or what I can do to corret it?

TIA

Quicken won't compute estimates for scheduled transactions with
splits.

I doubt there is any way around the limitation.

Hey Thanks John. It does indeed look like that may well be the reason.
Never occurred to me. I'd noticed they were split transactions, but
figured it would l ikely compute from the total, but apparently I
figured wrong. <sg>.

Thanks again.
