I just installed Pocket Quicken and Pocket Quicken Connect. Everything
works great (I think I'm really going to like this program) with the
exception of one item. Loans!!!!
In my Quicken on the PC, I have a car loan. When I click on the "Payee"
field in the register, the quick-fill drop down list appears. As far as
I can tell the fields in this drop down list are "payee...amount...category".
For my car loan, in the category field of the quick-fill drop down list,
I have the entry of "-LOAN-" (without the "") for a category. When I check
the "Category & Transfer List" on the PC there is no category item of -LOAN-!
Here's the problem.... When I preview transactions for downloading,
after writing a check for the car loan in Pocket Quicken, Quicken on the
PC doesn't recognize the category I used in Pocket Quicken. As there is
no category for -LOAN- in my Quicken on the PC the transfer does not
react as if I have a loan configured, using the current
principle/interest for the loan in the loan section.
I have also tried to assign this check to the "liability account" set for
the car loan (using [car loan] in the category & transfer list). The
result of this is that the total amount of the check written goes towards principle and
"nada" on interest (wouldn't that be nice ;-) ).
Anyone out there overcome this problem?????
