I have "Error Accessing disk" --

mwflash

I am trying to balance my checking account (which I do monthly) and see two transactions from 0/0/1900. When I try to review them (by editing) I get this error message: "Error accessing disk." So, I am unable to see what they are.

This just appeared. I was thinking I could discover the issue by reviewing my most recently entered/changed transactions. But I don't know how to find a log of recent transactions.

Any help on either would be greatly appreciated!

What is the full path to the folder that contains your Quicken data file on the hard drive? Do you have Controlled Folder Access enabled in Windows Defender? Are you using OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Backup? Have you tried restarting your computer?

mwflash

path is: windows/quickendata/backup.
i don't know answer RE: controlled folder access...
i am not using any of the apps you've listed.
i've not restarted, for fear of losing my path back to correcting the errors.
my last save was jan 24--i think before this situation, so my pot'l fix is to start over from jan 24.

Do you mean C:\windows\quickendata\backup? You should not keep your Quicken data file in a subfolder of C:\Windows. The default location should be C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Quicken. Have you checked your Event Viewer for hard drive errors?

i have not checke Event Viewer. i will investigate how to do that. ty

Just type Event in the Windows search box.

TY for heads up on data files. i have moved them as you suggested.
I have reviewed Event Veiwer and see nothing related to hard drive errors.
do you know if there is a way to get a list of my recent transactions entered to Quicken?
