Upgraded Q04 to Q07, no issues Andrew Rossmann 01-30-2007

 Just a note that I updated my Quicken 2004 to Quicken 2007 (both Deluxe)
this past weekend to avoid the sunsetting of the on-line feature.

The upgrade went fine and fast. Quicken didn't make any changes to my
settings (Billminder stayed off, my home page remained my checking
account register). It also updated itself to the R4 release. My only
complaint is the 4 junk-ad icons it put on the desktop.

I don't use some of the fancier features. It's mostly just checking,
credit cards, 401K, and some loans (all paid off now!!) I backed
everything up first to multiple sources.

This is under Win2K.

I tried to use the newer OneStep update that works with WebConnect
sites, but it didn't work with mine. Possibly because my bank is using a
new logon process for safety. The password is entered on a separate
screen after it verifies my computer is safe. If it doesn't recognize
it, it goes to a different screen where I have to type in an alternate
password by clicking on a mini-keyboard.

 I did the same except QBasic 2004 to QBasic 2007. No issues, smooth as
silk.

I did have one question: I had to move Quicken to my WinXP laptop because
my desktop still runs on WinME. Obviously, my laptop doesn't have a separate
numerical keypad built into the keyboard like my desktop. But after all
these years, I've gotten used to using the "+" and "-" keys to advance thru
category and class choices, as well as check numbers and dates in my
register. Are there laptop keys that perform this function?

Stephen:

You could always hit the "-" key two keys to the right of 0 to decrement,
shift "-" gets you "+" which increments.

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

note to Bob,

no need to hit "Shift" and "-" to add increments, just hit "+".

However, this only works for advancing dates or check numbers. I'm looking
to advance categories or classes when I'm entering a transaction. USB
number keyboard would be overkill for just that. I was hoping there was
another option, not a big deal.

Thanks again for the responses.

Thank you for the '+' and '-' info, because I do prefer using the NumPad
when possible!

I've been using Ctrl+DownArrow or Ctrl+UpArrow (with Quicken XG2006). Hope
this works for you.
