How do I invoice? Create a Customer List?

Options

Hi. I'm new to Quicken Classic Business & Personal R54.16 (Windows). I have a service business and I would also like to use Quicken for personal accounting. My issues…

1. It looks like this Quicken is only for personal in that there is no way that I can find to set up customers or create invoices. There is no tag or category or menu item that specifically sets up a business entity, although there are categories for business income, etc.

2. How do I set up a list of customers?

3. How do I create invoices?

4. I tried to save a New File to have a seperate file for my business, but it told me it "couldn't find that file". Of course not… I trying to create it!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
