Trying to enter bills into calendar jen.huffman 07-23-2007

When I tried to open my quicken calendar for the first time, Quicken
put all of my bank transactions onto the calendar! I only wanted to
keep the bills and paychecks on there, so I was renaming them and as I
renamed my paycheck, it asked me if I wanted to show the previous
transactions (or something like that) or just future
transactions..When I put future transactions, I think it erased some
of the paychecks from my account balance! My balance all of a sudden
became negative. Do I have to figure out what it deleted and put them
back in manually?

Thank you.

I'm not sure I can follow everything you did, so I'm not sure I
can say what is the best way to recover in your current file
(assuming you need to recover anything).

The best bet might be to restore your backup from just before
you began the exercise of correcting the Calendar. (You can
also look in the BACKUP folder in your Quicken data folder for
automatic backups that Quicken makes ... and appends a single
digit to the name of. The fileset with "1" appended to the name
is the most recent.)

And for the "future"; try clicking on "Options" in the Calendar
menu bar and unselecting "Show recorded transactions in
calendar".

[It's also a good idea to include your Quicken year/version
(such as: Q2005 Deluxe) when you post a question.]
