Reports (Windows)
Reports will not save in source directory anymore.
Snowman
R38.30. This had been working before but now when I edit a report from my Monthly Budget Reports and then try to save it the field "Save in:" has defaulted to "My Saved Reports". Ideas anyone?

Hello
@Snowman
,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.
Do you have a recent pre-update 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
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.
I hope this helps!

Anja that is the first thing I tried with the same results. It does this in all of the report folders that were created by Quicken.

Thank you for your response and confirming that you have tried restoring a backup already.
Next, if you haven't already, I suggest that you try validating and/or super validating your data file. However, I do recommend that you first
save a backup
file prior to performing these steps.
Validate
:
File
Validate and Repair File...
Validate File
Click
OK
Close the
Data Log
Close Quicken (
leave it closed for at least 5 secs
)
Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
Super Validate
:
File
Hold
CTRL + Shift
and click
Validate and Repair File...
Super Validate File
Click
OK
Close the
Data Log
Close Quicken (
leave it closed for at least 5 secs
)
Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

Very strange. The first report I checked remembered the correct folder but if I closed the report and opened the same report again and went to save it no longer remembered. Both Validate and Super Validate returned no errors.

The issue is that when you edit a report that is in a folder you created, it no longer defaults to save in that folder, right? Can you still specify the original folder?
Snowman
Jim, I am not sure what you mean by "Can you still specify the original folder? ". If the report is located in the "Monthly Budget Report" folder and I try to edit that report and then save it the option is "My Saved Reports" not Monthly Budget Report".
NEW INFORMATION. It looks like wherever this information was saved in Quicken it was corrupted or erased but this was not revealed in Validate or Super Validate. If I open a report, try to save it the default directory to save to is "My Saved Reports". However if I point it to the proper directory the next time I open that same report it shows the correct directory to save to. If I close Quicken and open it later the correct save directory is correct only for the reports that I just fixed the directory on. I have over 80 custom reports that I will have to reopen and save to fix this. Is there some limit as to how many reports this feature works on?

This problem was fixed not so long ago and then they broke it again.
I think when they added the "Report Updates" options to the "Save Report" dialog, they managed to reset all the destination subfolders to the top level "My saved reports".

RJ Squirrel, makes sense to me...
