Amounts and tax amounts are changing incorrectly when entering a memorised payee or editing an existing transaction

Legacy KB ID: 2762

Question

Why does the amount and tax amount calculates incorrectly when using a memorised payee or editing an existing transaction in Quicken 2010?

Answer

Note: Before proceeding ensure that you have two valid backups of your Quicken data files, with at least one on an external media. 

 

Solution

Close Quicken;

Rename the qwmain.dll file;

Download the new qwmain.dll file (see link below);

Open Quicken and check that a transaction with a tax code can be modified correctly;

Save the qwmain.dll patch to CD or USB and store with the Quicken Installation Disk.

 

 

Detailed Instructions

 

Close Quicken.

Rename the qwmain.dll file

1.    Right-click the Quicken icon on the Desktop and select Properties to open the Quicken 2010 Properties window.

2.    At the bottom of the Properties window (Shortcut tab), click on the button Open File Location.  Make a note of the directory path. (The default path is C:\Program Files\Quicken)

3.    Scroll through the list and on qwmain.dll right-click and select Rename.

4.    Rename qwmain.dll to qwmain.dll.old then press the Enter button on the keyboard.

5.    Remain in this directory.

 

 

If you see qwmain and not qwmain.dll in your directory, you will need to show file extensions.

 

Windows Vista and Windows 7

1.    In the installation directory, click on the Organize box in the top left corner;

2.    Select Folder and Search Options from the drop down menu;

3.    Click on the View tab;

4.    In the Advanced Settings window, uncheck the box Hide extensions for known file types and click OK;

5.    You should now see file extensions for all files.

 

Windows XP

1.    In the installation directory, on the top Menu line, select Tools then Folder Options;

2.    Click on the View tab;

3.    In the Advanced Settings window, uncheck the box Hide extensions for known file types and click OK;

4.    You should now see file extensions for all files.

 

 

Download the new qwmain.dll file

Double click on the following link to download the new file:

https://library.reckon.com.au/library/qwmain.dll

Choose to Save the file to the directory noted above.  (The default location is C:\Program Files\Quicken)

When the download has completed, you should see the file qwmain.dll at the bottom of the installation directory.

Close your web browser.

Keep Windows Explorer open and remain in the Quicken installation directory.

 

You are now ready to use Quicken.

Open Quicken, edit a saved transaction with a tax code and confirm that the net amount and tax amount change correctly and the first blank line contains the difference between the edited amount and the new amount. 

 

Store the qwmain.dll file with your Installation Disk

Save the new qwmain.dll file to a CD, DVD or USB stick and keep with your Quicken 2010 installation disk.  If in the future you are required to reinstall your Quicken software, you will need to rename the qwmain.dll file to qwmain.dll.old and copy this new qwmain.dll file from your CD, DVD or USB stick to the installation directory.    

Close Windows Explorer.

 

Additional Note:
If you want to proceed with a transaction without replacing the qwmain.dll you will need to do the following:
1.  Open the split window, click the Clear Amts button;
2.  Tab through the amount field and re-enter the amount with the appropriate tax code
3.  Click the Adjust button
4.  Click Enter or OK to save the transaction
The amount and tax amounts should now calculate correctly.
