I had setup a subcategory about 14 years ago has been used annually. Went to use it today and is acting like it’s a new category group and tells me I can’t create this. I rang a validate and super validate to no success. Also tried to kill the old one and recreate it….no success.
Suggestions?

Did not find any erroneous information. Resolved by creating a new subcategory to Category Automobile and Quicken accepted that and changed previously entries to this new one. Go figure!1

It looks like your Category List has become corrupted.
You may have categories looking like accounts, named "ACCT_xxxx" (where xxxx is a 3 - 5 digit hexadecimal number) or even "TEMP_xxxx".
You may also have the same category name listed more than once … which is illegal in a table defined as allowing only unique names.
See if you can locate and delete these problem entries.For more details, please read this discussion in its entirety:
