Bumping thread for more visibility.I'm a long-time and frequent Quicken user (multiple QDF files, many accounts, and lots of downloads), currently using 2016 Premier, and have not experienced file corruption in years (knock on wood because just saying that is probably tempting fate ). But it certainly happens.
Quicken does read and write to disk A LOT, which can open a window to this type of problem. Still, I'm running Quicken over a network (which isn't recommended for that same reason) without issue.A few things to consider.After you run Validate and Repair, fixing the issue, if you then rerun it again will it still show the problem, or does it only show up down the road? Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:58 amI've had my quicken files corrupt 5 times now. I backup, so it's not awful. It is very annoying.Anyone else have this problem?I periodically run the 'Validate and Repair' preventatively, but it doesn't help.
FWIW, when I run the 'Validate and Repair' option on the corrupted Quicken file, the culprits are usually benign look transactions-like a line in my credit card for shoes. Not sure how they can corrupt the entire quick file.I've only had it once (Quicken 2016). Thankfully I have Crash Plan (for another 7 months, sigh), and rolled back to last weeks version.

I have not had a problem with file corruption and I have been using the same file for 8 years.I am getting a few quirks here recently.
I believe I have the 2016 version.When I download transactions I have to hit the accept button twice for some reason. This happens about 50% of the time.Also, on one of my accounts, it does not find or match transactions consistently. Even when I try to manually match it will not do it even when they have the same dates and amounts.Hopefully this type of stuff will be fixed soon.
