Turn off smart selection in word for mac. I have been using Intuit’s Quicken program for more than 18 years to track my spending, chart investments, and keep tabs on my somewhat haphazard financial life. During those years, I’ve run into my fair share of Quicken bugs, and I’ve adopted a series of measures for protecting myself. For example, I make a backup every three days, I keep backups for three years, and I start a new Quicken file every year on January 1. Despite these measures, because I use Quicken to track every single purchase I make for myself, my wife, or my children, my Quicken files quickly grow to thousands of transactions. Intuit tells me my files are significantly larger than most users’.

Anyway, things went south on December 28 when I was adding a new checking account to my Quicken file. A few clicks into this setup, the program displayed an error message–Error Code 7097–and crashed. This is a frightening error message–it’s always frightening when your financial records may be corrupted–but I wasn’t worried because I have all those backups. Yet much to my surprise, when I tried to open my backup files, they generated the same internal error! P=”” /> I thought that my copy of Quicken might be broken, so I started the program while holding down the control key to prevent Quicken from opening my old, corrupt file.

I then created a new Quicken file, put some transactions in it, and tried to validate it using the program’s built-in file-recovery tools. No problems there. So then I tried to validate my primary file. Bad news: it wouldn’t validate. It also wouldn’t “super validate,” a secret validation command that Quicken can run if you run the “validate” command while holding down the shift and control keys.

Never one to panic about such a thing, I set up a new computer running Windows 2000 with the Parallels virtual machine system running on a Macintosh. I then downloaded a pristine copy of Quicken 2007 for Home and Business, copied over my primary file, and tried to open it. Nope, that didn’t work. Strangely enough, the new install wouldn’t read any of my backups either. I kept getting that pesky internal error. A Web search for the error code was not useful: a few other users had run into this error code, it wasn’t documented, and when they called up Intuit, they didn’t get any help.

A bit more searching through Intuit’s website revealed that the company sells a “data recovery service” to recover information from corrupt Quicken files. Intuit does offer support on Quicken, so I blocked out three hours this morning for an extended call with its tech-support center located in New Deli. I got a very polite service representative who was clearly hamstrung by the tools that Intuit had given him: his documentation didn’t explain what Error Code 7097 was, either.

All he could tell me to do was uninstall Quicken from my computer, download a new copy, install it in a new directory, and try to open the file. It was clear that he was following a script. I didn’t think that this would work, but I decided to give it a try just the same. As it turns out, I was using Quicken 2007 R2, and when I tried to do the reinstall, the program told me that R3 was now available. I installed R3 and opened my old file, and it all worked!
