Validate stuck on "Checking stock splits" but I have no stock splits

brineer

Hi. I'm Super Validating a Quicken Data File with Quicken Classic Deluxe on Windows. When the validation gets to the "Checking stock splits" operation it hangs for hours. I have no stock split transactions — I deleted all securities, investment accounts, and related transactions.

This same problem prevents me from using Quicken Cloud to migrate this data file to MacOS.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Same problem happens when exporting to a .QXV file.

Hello @brineer,

I'm sorry to hear you're running into this issue when trying to prepare your file for transfer from Windows to Mac. Getting stuck while performing a Validate function usually means there are file-specific problems that the Validate function is unable to resolve. How long are you waiting for it to complete? Does the process end on it's own, or do you have to force-quit?

Since you're running into issues preparing your current file for conversion, I'd recommend restoring a recent backup, and test to see if the newly restored file will Validate and import into Quicken for Mac successfully.

I look forward to your response!
