I'm not saying you can't or won't get a good answer here; but there are several 
SuperUsers in the Quicken Community (https://community.quicken.com/discussions) 
who are really sharp in this area. 

Even if they haven't already seen the problem and determined the best approach, 
I'm sure they have the skill to give you some good advice.
