For example, if your Essentials server’s “ Users” server folder is located at “ S:\ServerFolders\Users“, then the user “ Mike” should be using the folder “ S:\ServerFolders\Users\Mike\Quicken” to store their user-specific Quicken. QDF-backup files within that user-specific Quicken sub-folder. Since Quicken is a “ per-user” application (meaning that each user has access to their very own Quicken data file), the best way to setup Quicken for use with WSE RemoteApp is to create a sub-folder named “ Quicken” off of the specific user’s pre-existing “ Users” server folder, and then store their Quicken. I personally have yet to look at Quicken 2018, but I assume that it is very similar to the existing 2017 version, and if so, it should also work just fine with WSE RemoteApp as well. We regularly use Quicken 2017 with WSE RemoteApp and have never had any issues with it whatsoever. Not good! Is this an issue with your program or with Quicken - or both? I’ve included the “File-in-Use” error message I received with this message. Is this a known issue? Can’t I save my Quicken backup to the server? Do I have to save it locally? If I do have to save it locally, that means I would have to save it to “my” local computer when I run Quicken but my wife would have to save it to “her” computer when she uses Quicken - which means the most recent backup would be on the computer that was last used instead of in one specific location. I have not yet tried to replicate this issue. After using that utility, I was able to open the data file in Quicken once again. Although that utility indicated that the Quicken data file was NOT locked, I tried unlocking it anyway. I then tried a file “unlocking” utility (i.e., IOBit Unlocker). That did NOT help at all (same error message). I also tried rebooting my local computer. After rebooting the server, Quicken still could NOT open the file (I got the same error message that the file was “in use”).
When I tried to manually open the data file, I received a message that the file was “in use” and could, therefore, not be opened. The backup seemed to save okay BUT after saving the backup, Quicken could NOT reload the data file. I changed the backup location to the server folder I wanted to use and proceeded to save the backup.
However, I have always saved my Quicken backups to a different folder on the server, NOT on my local computer. The default backup location shown was in the user document folder on my local computer. The problem occurred when I used the Quicken file menu to “backup” the data file. I am running the data file (QDATA.QDF) from a folder on the server which seemed to work fine. Also, using the Launchpad from my desktop computer to run and use Quicken was fine. =Installing Quicken on my Server and setting up the RemoteApp worked fine without any issues. This is the problem I ran into so far with Quicken 2018: UPDATE: I just discovered that I can submit a message to Community Support “as a guest” (which was NOT obvious, by-the-way) which is what I am now doing. HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT?
I also tried two different times (yesterday and today) to use the “Lost Password” link to reset the password I never received, and that did not work either. I registered yesterday and NEVER received an email response. I have been having some issues and have tried registering for “Community Support”.
I am currently evaluating WSE RemoteApp 2012 R2 for home use in particular with Quicken 2018.
