Paycheck amount WRONG in Calendar & Reminders

Patrick Larkin

I have a paycheck set up for quite some time, and it worked for a long time. It still "works", in as much as all my deductions and deposits are correct when I click Enter from the reminders list.

But somewhere along the line, the net amount on upcoming deposits shown on the Reminders and on the Calendar is incorrect. Negative -$154. The calendar is configured to show only my checking account. As a result, it consistently forecasts a shortfall because instead of a positive deposit, it shows that negative $154. I don't understand where they come up with this value.

What's going on?

Hello @Patrick Larkin,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and telling us about this issue.  I'm sorry to hear you're running into this problem. When did this issue first start? Do you recall which version of Quicken you were using when it started? Was there anything that happened just before the issue started, such as a power surge, power outage, update, unexpected program or computer shutdown, etc?  Do you keep your Quicken file on your C drive or is it on a shared network drive?  Is your Quicken file synced with any cloud service, such as One Drive or Dropbox (if it is, you will usually see the service name listed in the file location)? 

The simplest way to check your file location, if you have Quicken up and the file open, is to click on File, then look near the bottom of the list, just above where it says Exit.  It will list the file locations for the 4 Quicken files you have most recently accessed, with the one you are currently in at the #1 spot.

Thank you.
