Report title with ":2" after it

Q2009: I have a report and I cannot get quicken just to make the report
title be what it is. Quicken *insists* on putting ":2" at the end of the
report title. I've saved the report with a different name and the *NEW*
report has the @$%@#$%@#$% ":2" at its end. What's making it do that and
how do I make it go away??

I believe the ":2" has to do with what Quicken thinks is the number of
iterations of the saved report that have been created. If you have the
"Report history" displayed, you can usually see this

I can't give you chapter and verse, partly because I think there is a bug in
there somewhere but it is inconsistent in my experience.

What I have done, is give the report the same "Saved" name each time (to do
this, I have to remove the digit suffixed to the end of the suggested save
name after the first save), tell Quicken to overwrite the existing report
with that name, then exit from Saved Reports. Next time I run the report,
the suffix is usually gone fromn the title. [If it doesn't work the first
time I try it, I try it again.]

Bernie:

As John said, it's inconsistent.
What I do is to change Quicken Preferences under Edit - Preferences -
Quicken Program.

Under Reports and Graphs, change between "Customizing creates new report or
graph" and "Customizing modifies current report or graph."
I sometimes have to exit Quicken and run it again for the :2 to stay
deleted.

You just have to play with it to make that annoyance go away.
Good Luck!
