Well, screw it I said, and recreated the vault. Since one doesn't have to
go through ACCOUNT REACTIVATION when deleting./recreating the pin vault, it
wasn't as bad as I originally thought it might be. And despite the fact
that it seemed to be doing *manual* OSUs fine, indeed when I rebooted
Windoze, it seems to have take the vault PIN fine on start up this time
around (Thanks Rick - and I did take the password off the QDF file as John
had suggested).

So, we'll see if it really works at 6 AM tomorrow morning; then, I want to
put the password BACK on the QDF file because I don't like the idea of
leaving that unprotected in a house of 4 others.

Stay tuned.

Scheduled OSU worked, now onto whether or not putting the password back on
the QDF file still allows it to work.

Post your results if it does or does not work. I am interested. I live in
the Pacific Time Zone and have trouble figuring our when to schedule the
automatic update as it also seems to miss something.

Well, as I think John Pollard mentioned, apparently there ARE "issues" as to
whether or not one has a password on the fileset in question. Without the
password assigned, the scheduled OSU works fine. An ICON appears in the
system tray indicating I have transactions to process. However, when I put
the password on the fileset, it doesn't download properly, and a little icon
shows up in my system tray telling me I have had problems.

So, I am not sure if this is a "bug" or a "feature". Since I would think
if a password is on the file when one sets up the scheduled OSU, it should
not be a security issue to program the update to ignore the password. So I
did report it as a "bug" and I'll see what the response is from Intuit.

It is my feeling that is is not a bug. If you consider the data
important enough to require a password, than just having the user account
active should not defeat the Quicken fileset's password, and that is what
you are asking for, I think.

Just my opinion!
