I just installed Quicken 2008, and for some reason my accounts are
showing on the programs start page. Anybody know where/how in the
program I can fix this? Thx -- M9

I haven't a clue what you're talking about. If you want help
(from me, at least), you'll need to provide very specific
details describing your problem.

OK. I have Quicken 2008, starter addition. When I fire up the
program, it opens to a sort of summary page, which the program calls
"Quicken Home." On this page, there is a table on the left, under
"One Step Update," with the headings "Account," "Edit," "Last
Activity," and "Balance." Even though I've added all my accounts to
the program, there is nothing showing under these headings, although
the bottom line does show my balance. I'm assuming (maybe
incorrectly) that my accounts should all be listed there, but they
aren't, even though I have not indicated in preferences that I want
them hidden. Shouldn't they be showing there? If not, why are there
those headings?

Hope that's specific enough.

Thanks -- M9

It seems like it should be specific enough, but I can't find any
display like that in Q2008 Premier. "Why" is often a difficult
question to answer ... even more difficult when I can't
reproduce or view the problem.

I don't suppose your "table" has a title?

Q2008 has something called the "Account Bar" (which can be on
the left or the right) but it pertains to every Quicken screen,
not just the Home, and it doesn't have all those fields. And
Q2008 has an Account List ... but that's not part of any screen.
Then there is something called "All Accounts" which can be
selected to appear on a user created Home "View" ... but it
doesn't have those headings.

If your accounts do not appear in the Account Bar, the Account
List, or the All Accounts home page display, then I'd think you
have some sort of corruption.

The Home page is usually customizable (I can create new "views"
for my Home page), and most of the data implied by the headings
in your "table" should be available in other Quicken displays.
You might want to experiment with creating your own Home page
view.

And hope that someone else with the Starter Edition has figured
out the answer to your question.
