Hurray!!! My hard drive disk space > manager thanked me this morning. Yes, indeed! And now I can change a driveletter, and have another backup on a different computer with just a single letter substitution. I just have the same path on 2 machines, at least via the mapped drives on the machine running Q2010. The actual paths are indeed different. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid
From: noladr on 18 Mar 2010 17:43 noladr had written this in response to http://www.rockryno.com/quicken/Re-Quicken-2010-Premier-R7-Design-Flaw-21344-.htm : I too am REALLY unhappy about this change. After using Quicken - basically since it came out - having the behavior of the <ENTER> key change in data entry screens is immensely disturbing and disruptive! I have always used <ENTER> to move from field to field, and then click the actual button I want (Save & New) or (Save & Close) as appropriate. Does anyone know if this is a 'by design' HORRIBLE decision... or if they plan to fix this in an update? Giving us the checkbox preference should handle people who DON'T want to use ENTER to move from field to field... I can't for the life of me, understand why they would want to strip our preference to use the <ENTER> key as we sit fit?

Every version since then has been buggy, unreliable, and had previous features either crippled or removed outright. It seems that every new update (and there have already been 8 for Q2010 in less than 6 months) only introduces more problems than they actually solve. Customer Support disappeared right along with the developers. Have a problem? Good luck getting an answer. In English anyway. cue the Intuit apologists...
