I'd like to be able to track the S&P500 in Quicken...any way?

Although I own S&P500 index fund which automatically gets updated by Quicken's One Step Update, I have to manually look up the value of the actual S&P500 index online each quarter that I calculate a new worth. I use the index as a guide for whether my investments, in total, are doing better or worse than the index itself.

Is there any way I can track the value of the S&P500 index in Quicken, even though it is not an investment that I own? I suspect I could with a dummy account with zero shares, but I'll bet there's a more elegant way to do this.

I think Quicken calls the S&P 500 "INX"

I would add it to the Quicken watch list. The symbol Q uses, like all indexes, is 'INDEX:xxx" where "xxx" is the appropriate sub-symbol. In this case, the symbol name is "INDEX:INX". (Another example, the symbol for the DOW is INDEX:DJI. In the Quicken quote finder, use the 'INDEX' option and type the word 'INDEX' as an argument, and you'll find all the others as well.)
