->    My wife and I have one checking account but we each have our own
-> check registers and checks.  I call these sub-accounts and we make
-> our own deposits/withdrawals to each sub-account.  The system works
-> quite well and avoids lots of troubles.
->    Now, I'd like to keep doing this but I see no way I can with
-> Quicken.  That is,  I'd like to maintain two sub-accounts in Quicken
-> and have them tied to the main checking account also in Quicken.
Ernest, my wife and I run our checking account pretty much the same way
as you do, and I haven't found a good solution to this problem in
Quicken either.  I just keep a single checking account in Quicken and
continue to maintain the paper checkbook registers as always.  With
luck, the balance in the Quicken account should equal the balances in
the two checkbooks.
You might be able to do this with "classes."  Quicken optionally allows
you to designate a class for each transaction in addition to a category.
 So you could set up two classes, "Ernest" and "Mrs. Ernest" (sorry),
and assign each deposit and each check to the appropriate class.  But I
haven't tried this because it looks like too much trouble, and I don't
know whether there is any simple way to keep a running balance in each
class.
Good luck and let me know if you find any better answers!
