Quicken 2008: Home Screen Chester 08-27-2007

 Just got the new version. Seems like a refined version of 2007, everything
before is still there, except, for the initial home screen. It's been kind
of split up between different screens.

Is it possible to duplicate the previous screen and make it the default when
you run the program?

If you are referring to the Home tab on the Home screen for
Q2007, I think you can pretty much duplicate that by clicking
the "Personal Cash Flow" tab, then clicking the "Cash Flow"
button on the upper right.

To see that everytime you start Quicken:

Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program > Startup

and select "Cash Flow" in the "On startup open to" dropdown.

Tried that -- close. The 07 default screen had a cash-flow summary with a
lot of other useful info -- that's the screen that's missing, now it's a
calendar (with no apparent way to not have register transactions show up)...
No biggie, it's all there, just buried a little deeper now and completely
separate.

The Q2007 Home tab of the Home screen has a "Projected Cash
Flow" display with a Scheduled Bills and Deposits below it.
That's exactly what you'll find where I suggested in Q2008.

You're right, the Q2008 Projected Cash Flow screen is in a
different place than it was in Q2007 (and no longer anywhere on
the Home screen), but it is present (on the "Personal Cash Flow"
tab) and it looks virtually the same as it did in Q2007, and it
can be designated to appear when Quicken starts.

[I tried to send a couple of Wordpad files showing the two
identical screens, but could not get a post with even just one
of them posted.]
