Exporting New Purchases From Quicken to Home Inventory jeremy 09-05-2006

Is there any way to update Home Inventory with information on new purchases,
as part of the procedure for entering the items in Quicken?

Say, for example, that I buy a TV and pay for it from my debit card through
my checking account. I will enter the transaction in my Quicken register
for my checking account. But, as I understand it, if I want to add that
newly-purchased TV to my Home Inventory, I must open QHI and manually enter
the item there as well.

Is it possible that Intuit has incorporated a feature in Quicken where users
can carry-over their purchase information to their Home Inventory database,
and I just am unaware of it?

Thanks for any help.

Highlight the register entry and then launch QHI. When QHI opens, it will
ask you if you want to enter the item into your inventory. It will prefill
the relevant entries.

Excellent! Thanks for the tip.

What if I have more than one item to add--is there a way to do that, or must
I close QHI, then add the next entry to my register, then restart QHI?

This was true prior to version 2007; now instead of the info prefilling, I
get an error message that there is inadequate space on a hard drive w/almost
60 gigs unused & the data must be manually entered.

BTW early last week, I sent an email to qkn re: this error message but have
not received any response.

No, it does work for me. I do not get the error message that you have been
receiving.

And I experimented and was able t find the answer to my own question--

If there are more than one item to be added to the QHI database, just go
back to the Quicken register, highlight the next item, then go to the
Property and Debt menu and click on QHI again (even while the first copy is
running in the background). QHI will come uo (not as a second copy, only
the original app will remain running) and it will have filled in the fields
for the next item.
