Quicken Crashes when I try to access a large investment account
I have two managed accounts in Quicken that have multiple securities that they are always buying and selling so they're pretty darn big. Recently when I download to Quicken,one of these account is causing Quicken to crash. I tried archiving the whole file but that does not do much to this file.
I suspect my best bet is to delete this account from Quicken. What is the best way of handling this?

File/ File Operations/ Copy File (sometimes fixes during copy) Use a different file name
Open The new file
Start a New Account at same FI
Go back to the old Account and Move ALL Securities from old account to new account and then do cash if left over (This should retain all cost basis info AND only moves currently held securities so old account will not even be looked at unless requested in report etc..) If working, disable online for old account and hide on account bar.
If not good, just open the original file again

what version (year, release and edition level) of Quicken do you use?
I have 1354 in my security account. That is not a problem -- on my system, with my QW2017. I also have 59,000 transactions in my file, in 27 accounts.
You might need to try restoring a backup from a few sessions ago. Doing so might indicate there is some recent damage to your data file.
Right click on the toolbar at the bottom of your screen and open the system monitor to see what is running and how much RAM is available.
