Anyone experiencing One Step Update Memory Leak when "Sync to Quicken Cloud" selected?
Started to experience a memory leak with the latest Quicken Windows Subscription version update (Version: R29.20; Build: 27.1.29.20) when running One Step Update. When the process reaches "Sync to Quicken Cloud", task manager shows the qw.exe process consuming increasing amounts of memory until the application crashes. At one point, I had it consuming 1GB of memory before finally killing the process. Receive: "Error: Failed to create dumb file : " error (183)".
Anyone else seeing a similar issue? Note: Unchecking the option allows One Step Update to complete.

Problem resolved with french words with Quicken
We all know that Quicken does not support French language. However, we can very well name accounts or categories in French and use a french keyboard.
After years of research, I have just discovered the source of errors in the sum of certain items in my budget reports or plannings. The names of my various budget categories as well as those of my accounts are written in French with accents. I just found out that if the name of a category starts with a vowel with an accent (e.g. "Épargne" (Savings)), Quicken will not add up the income or expenses of that category. Simply rename the category with a vowel without accent (e.g. "Epargne" (Savings)) and everything fits in order.
The names of the categories and accounts should not contain a French accent on the first letter but may contain them within the word (e.g. "Evénement sportifs" (Sports Events) will be OK but not "Événements sportifs".
In conclusion, if you use one of the names in French for your categories, never use accent on first vowel of a name and you will have no problem with your reports. I hope this will help my French or French Canadian friends.

Does your avatar have a story?
In another forum I'm in, someone asked the members to explain their avatars. There are many more interesting avatars there than there are here, but maybe some of yours have stories.
Here's mine:
In our previous home, the squirrels outnumbered the birds at the feeder.
We finally gave up and threw shelled peanuts to the squirrels. This one
developed the habit of coming to the back door to beg for nuts. Or
sometimes to the shelf outside the kitchen window where we had a
flowerpot.
Where we live now, it's a bit too wild to feed the local fauna. Airborne predators would turn our backyard into a buffet.
Got a story to share?
Can't edit bill form - Error says to select type
Using Quicken 09 (I know, don't judge). For vendor bills under the Business tab, I'm given the following notification:
"First select a type for this transaction, or use Create New button"
Form works for all other types. Thoughts?

Access Denied Error during Update to Latest Version [edited]
In trying to update to the latest windows subscription version, I get this error message: 'Access to the path C:\program files (x86)\quicken\avcodec-53.dll' is denied. Any idea what to do about it? All other updates have installed with no problems.
Re: FAQ: Best way to handle distributions from IRA
Summarizing - you want QWin to record a transfer of the gross distribution from the IRA to the MM Acct (a taxable brokerage acct) and record the fed & state withholding. And you want QWin to track/report the taxable income and the taxes withheld in the tax reports.
Set the tax attribute "Transfers Out:" for the IRA account to "1099-R:Total IRA taxable distrib."
Go to the destination account - the MM Acct.
Enter a Deposit transaction - scroll down to the Cash Transactions at the end of the transaction list to find Deposit.
Select Split in the transaction window and record 3 split entries;
The first split is the gross distribution with the category indicating a transfer from the IRA Acct.
The second and third entries are the fed & state withholdings - with appropriate categories.
The net of this transaction is the net deposit to the MM Acct.
Schedule this transaction for your monthly distributions.
You will want to enter these transactions into the register prior to downloading from your FI.
The downloaded transactions from your FI may or may not match the register entries - try to manually match if auto match fails. [Matching in investment accounts seems a bit strange at times].
If you can not get a match, I would delete the downloaded transactions.
Couple of important points:
1) The withholdings must be recorded in a taxable account in order for QWin to pick them up in the tax reports - they must be outside the 'tax-deferred' shield of the IRA.
2) You can create categories for the fed & state w/h - use the corresponding 1099-R tax line assignments for these
3) It is important to use the Deposit transaction when transferring to a taxable brokerage acct. QWin does not pick up the taxable event [the distribution] if one uses a 'Cash transferred out' transaction for some reason [bug?].
4) If the destination account is a cash account (checking or savings) - just open a regular split transaction (in the destination acct) and record the transfer from the IRA and the withholdings.
5) Check for proper tax reporting by running QWins Tax Schedule Report - look for the 1099-R sub-header.6) The procedure is exactly the same for distributions from any tax-deferred retirement account (IRA, 401k, other). The tax line assignments are the same - note they all refer to 'IRA' - but work the same for a 401k or other.
