Manual Stock Price Import

Hi Robert,

I am using Quicken XG 2006 (Canadian version) and you can import prices from a CSV file as follows. I imagine it would be similar for Quicken

2005... The key is to have your portfolio open when you look at File

=============================Import security prices from an ASCII file =============================If you have an Internet connection, the easiest way to update security prices is to download them. Otherwise, you can import security prices from a standard, comma-delimited ASCII file.

1. Choose Investing menu > Portfolio.
2. Choose File menu > Import > Import Prices.
3. In the File field, enter the name of the ASCII file that contains the price data. The data must be in an acceptable CSV format.

CSV format for security prices

-------------------------------------------- The data must be in standard ASCII format with one symbol/price/date per line, separated by either commas or double spaces (using only one type of separator per line).

These import formats are all acceptable. Note that Quicken can handle quotation marks:

ABC, 123.456

ABC, 123.456, 12/31/02

ABC 123.456 12/31/02

ABC, "ABC", 123.456, "12/31/02"

"ABC", "123.456", "12/31

In the Date field, change the date information if necessary. If the file does not contain specified dates, import the prices to the date entered here. The currently selected date in Portfolio is the preset display in this field.

Quicken matches prices with your securities if they have the same symbol. If your securities don't have symbols, you'll need to edit them first so they do.

Click OK.
