From: Chad Neeper on 22 Apr 2010 10:05 Quicken has the ability to synchronize bill and income reminders to Microsoft Outlook. This lets you view Quicken reminders right alongside any other events you have scheduled on your personal calendar. I think this is a useful feature, but it is limited only to Microsoft Outlook users. I have submitted a feature request to Intuit to add iCAL support for the bill and income reminders. By adding the option to sync the reminders out to a file using the well-supported iCAL standard, non-Outlook users would be able to use their calendar program of choice to view the reminders. If you think this would be useful, please click on Help -> Submit Feedback right there in Quicken and shoot off a similar request. The more requests Intuit gets for a particular feature, the more likely they are to implement it. Here is my original request if anyone wants to cut and paste: Feature request for Quicken Home & Business: Add the option to synchronize bill/income reminders to a specified iCAL file in addition to synchronizing with Outlook. This would allow the reminders to be viewed by a much greater range of calendaring tools and not limit the sync feature to just Outlook users.

I think the sync-to-outlook feature pertains to lesser Quicken versions than H&B: was there a specific reason you made your request only for H&B? -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

I had no reason for specifying H&B specifically, other that to indicate what version I use. I would hope that if Intuit chose to implement the feature, it would be implemented for all versions. (But if not, then I'd prefer it be included in the version _I'm_ using! :-) -- ----------------------- Chad Neeper Senior Systems Engineer Level 9 Networks 740-548-8070 (voice) 866-214-6607 (fax) -- Full LAN/WAN consulting services -- -- Specialized in libraries and schools --

I searched my Quicken HELP tab for variations of this theme, and didn't find anything. Q2010 P. I'd like to perhaps investigate 'turning this on'. Thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew

I think this should preclude the interesting feature you are requesting. AFAIK, there is (yet) no possibility to NOT share individual items on a calendar. When that becomes possible, I would be highly interested. Comments? -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |
