Cannot delete undated bill reminder

marierm

I have an undated bill reminder that I cannot delete. The error is "Could not delete item". I already have the latest version, have run the Validate and Repair.

Since I can't see what exactly you are seeing where about the missing reminders, I'd have to send you on to call Quicken Support on the phone and do a screen share session with them. They might be able to help you.

But, before you do that, perform Step (1) of the procedure I gave you to make sure that your Quicken software is properly installed and updated. Support will ask you to do that and that will save some time.

I just tried that but it didn't do anything.

Please perform Step (2) in this document to run a special Validate process. This should help fix the broken reminder:

When I tried to do the copy I got an error that said "File NOT copied".

I did it again with the Shift-Control option and opened the copied file.

I ran the Validate and Repair and got this message: "Quicken found a damaged scheduled reminder and removed it. Please check your scheduled reminders by going to Tools>Manage Bills and Income Reminders."

I ran the Supervalidate and it reported no errors.

I closed and reopened the copied file, and this time it let me delete the errant reminder, but it also wiped out all but 2 of my items under "All Bills & Deposits". Although it does show them under Monthly Bills and Deposits, it does not show them under the Projected balances view, so this is not a solution I can live with unless I can get them added back to "All Bills & Deposits" and Projected Balances.
