Yea, I think that it is one of the better lean and mean versions for working in DOS. Do you use it to print checks? ...

I know the tax estimator would work again in version, but not sure that's enough reason to upgrade.

I have finally paid off some accounts and they show a Zero balance in my account list. I want to remove these entries from my account list, but the only option I can find is to delete them. Is this the action I want to take or will that also remove the transactions I have made using that account? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Try installing Qv.5.0 in a different directory and then import the account data over to it. Quicken will recognise it as older account data and will ask you if you want to convert it.

LM> I want to remove these entries from my account list, but the only LM> option I can find is to delete them. You want to get rid of the information (account) but you don't want to lose the information? I would say that the information is integral to the count. LM> Is this the action I want to take or will that also remove the LM> transactions I have made using that account? If you need the information, then you need the account. I only keep the past 3 years on my hard drive. I archive previous years to a floppy. Once the account is totally in archive, then I delete it from the file on the hard drive. The number of years in your current file is up to you so your mileage may vary.
