SuperValidate results in new category ACCT_XXXX ?

Roger Snook

This is an intermitted problem, but every third/fourth time I run a supervalidate, I get a new mysterious, and empty category named ACCT_XXXX (where XXXX is usually some numbers/letters).

Supervalidate log reports this (snippet):

Quicken repaired damaged transaction index. No action required.
Quicken found an invalid transaction and removed it. "ACCT_1db7" 0/ 0/1900
Quicken repaired some transaction information. No action required.
"ACCT_1db7" 0/ 0/1900

Summary:
Quicken repaired 1 accounts. No action required.

I've reported this before in "Report a bug" but I've never heard of any resolution (for ANY matter reported that way in fact - wishing there were a tracking number associated with those problems, but that would be a different matter).

These temporary account names, either ACCT_xxxx or TEMP_xxxx, are a holdover from several years ago. A bug in Quicken, long since fixed, caused these temporary accounts to remain behind if something unexpected happened during One Step Update. Normally, these accounts are created during OSU and deleted at the end of OSU.

You should be able to delete this entry from either the Category List or, if it appears as an account in the Account Sidebar, by selecting Edit Account Details for it and deleting it from the Account Details dialog.
