Quicken 2002, XG, 2004

Why does the following error message appear when I attempt to enter a transaction?

Memorized transaction list is full.

Possible Cause: This error message usually indicates that Quicken is unable to write (add information) to the Quicken data file for one of the following reasons:

• The file is stored in a location other than the local hard disk.
• The file is read-only.
• The file is damaged.

To resolve this error message:

• Open the Quicken File menu by clicking File in the upper left corner of the program.
• Near the bottom of the menu, note the location of the currently open file (a checkmark will precede it). For example, X:\Quicken\MyFile indicates that MyFile is stored in the Quicken folder on Drive X.
• If the file is stored on the local hard disk (usually Drive C), proceed to Step 3.
• If the file is not stored on the local hard disk:
• Choose New from the open File menu.
• Select New Quicken File and click OK.
• Select a location on the local hard disk from the Save in drop-down menu, enter a File name, and then click OK to create a dummy file. Close any setup windows that may appear.
• From the File menu, choose Restore Backup File.
• Select the drive letter you noted in Step 2, and then click OK.
• Browse to the file location you noted in Step 2, and then click OK to restore it.
• After the file has been restored, click OK to open it. Proceed to the next step if the message persists.
• Right-click Start on the Microsoft® Windows® taskbar, and then choose Explore.
• Browse to the file location you noted in Step 2, and then locate the data file set for the data file.
  Tip: The data file set consists of four files with the file name extensions .qdf, .qsd, .qei, and .qph. In the Step 2 example, the data file set would be composed of MyFile.qdf, MyFile.qsd, MyFile.qei, and MyFile.qph.
• Right-click each file in the data file set, choose Properties, and make sure that only the Archive checkbox is selected. If necessary, clear the Read-only and Hidden checkboxes, and then click OK.
• Reopen your data file in Quicken. If the message persists, restore a backup you recently created before the message began appearing.
• Exit and then restart Quicken. If the message persists:
• Restore an earlier backup if you have one, or
• Follow the basic troubleshooting steps to correct data file damage.
• Exit and then restart Quicken. If the message continues to occur despite following the instructions in this article, please contact our Data Recovery Team for further assistance.
