Q 2006 Dlx on Vista Home Premium

Just recently started adding use of attachements, mostly attacheming a
pdf of my pay statements to the deposit transaction. Going back and
double checking a few I found a case where I attached the wrong
statement to a particular transaction.

Select transaction, then Edit -> Attachments ... -> Delete Attachment
"Are you sure you want to delete this attachment?" -> yes
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process" -> OK

There are no other apps open, and I even tried restarting the PC to
clear any potential unreleased locks.

That did it. Thanks for the tip.

BTW, I take it that when we attach a document, Q is making a copy in
its own directories, and we can then move/delete the original? I've
tested that and it seems to be the case, but I still worry that
somewhere deep in its bowels, Q. still has a pointer back to the
original source location.

Ed:

Quicken stores attachments in the Quicken/Attach/[File name] folder.
So, you can delete the originals once you've attached.
