Why has Quickfill has stopped working with Write Checks
Rick01
I have the Windows subscription version. All of a sudden, in the last couple of weeks, when I go to write checks, the category information is no longer being filled in. I have changed nothing and the Quickfill option is on.

Hello
@Rick01
,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community to tell us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.
Could you please provide which version of Quicken you have currently running?
Help > About Quicken
If you haven't already, I suggest that you first try to validate your data file by following the steps below--
First, save a backup of your data file (
just in case
)
Go to
File
File Operations
Validate and Repair
Validate File
Ok
Close the data log that will pop-up after the validation has completed
Close Quicken
Wait at least 5 seconds
Reopen Quicken
Try again to see if the issue reoccurs/remains the same or gets corrected
You can also try super validating which are the same steps as above except that you will hold
Ctrl
and
Shift
on your keyboard when clicking on
Validate and Repair
in order to get the option for
Super Validate
.
Let us know how it goes!

It did not work, have the same problem
Rick01
Hi, I tried Validate and Super Validate. Neither worked. When I open Write Checks and enter a payee that I have memorized with category information, neither the amount nor the category information is not filled in. In addition, I'm finding that many of my previously memorized transactions have had their category information wiped out.
The version I have is Quicken Deluxe, Year: 2020, Version R29.22, Build 27.1.29.22

Thank you for the additional information, though I apologize that that did not resolve it for you, and for the delay in my response.
Do you have a recent backup you can restore? To start with, I suggest restoring a backup file to see if the same issue occurs in the restored file. If needed, please, review this
support article
. Scroll down until you see
Quicken for Windows
and open the blue dropdown section(s) titled
Restore Quicken data
and/or
Restore an automatic backup
for instructions on how to restore a backup.
As for the issue of categories being wiped out, this is a bug that has been reported to our Development and Product teams for further investigation and resolution. Though we do not currently have an ETA on it, once a solution is created it will be made available as part of a future release. (
