I scan copies of my bank statements into PaperPort 9.0 and save it as a .pdf
file. When I go to Quicken to "attach" a copy of the statement, I use the
"browse" feature to find the statement among my PaperPort documents, but
when I click "OK" to add the attachment, I get an error message that I need
to use a valid file name! What am I missing?

Have you tried renaming the statement (try something like stmnt.pdf) and attaching it?
It could be that Quicken isn't playing friendly with long file names (they've only been
around for ten years, after all...).

When I download account statements from or bank the name automagically
filled in is something obscure, an alpha numeric mix, .pdf. I always rename
the file with the Quicken account name for the statement + the date, and
save it to a folder where my Quicken data is stored.
(i.e. Mike&Elaine 11 05 2005.pdf) Like you I "browse" to the
folder/statement and it imports as I expect.

In the Import dialog make sure that Statement is selected (Radio Button)
and not Other Document. Also like Christian suggested change the name of
the scanned document to something meaningful.

Hi there,
I think you should change the extension name of your file, because may be that file is not supported by Quicken.
May be this will help you....try this(stmnt.pdf) extension name
