Unable to edit or delete reminders imported from Mac Quicken in Windows Quicken

benno said:

I just transferred my Mac Quicken to Windows using the facility provided. All seemed to go great. However, I now see that I have a problem. All imported reminders are uneditable and undeleteable. I have the buttons which seem to allow edit and skip. Neither does anything. When I attempt to delete, the program says "not allowed." Help.
