I'm running Q2006 Premier Rel QA 5 on Windowx XP SP2
I've been with Quicken so long, I'm afraid to convert, but I started when I only needed a computerized check register. These days, I need software that handles investments and securites as least as much as I need something to balance my checkbook, and therein lies the problem.
I've got about 6 investment accounts, and the PITA I'm experiencing occurs when I hold the same security in more than one account. When that happens, and I select such an account and double click the security also held elsewhere, it pulls up a Security Detail View subwindow, but the graph shown is for ALL shares and transaction of the security, regardless of what account it's in. This problem has been around for quite a while, it was in the prevous Quicken version I had too.
There may be times where an investor would WANT to see such a "global" graph, but I've never come across one yet. When I'm looking at a specific account and I double click on a security, I'd MUCH rather see a Security Detail Graph that only includes data specific to the account I'm currently in.
Why doesn't Quicken show the global graph only when someone clicks on the Investing Center, which lists ALL securities? At least that would make some sense... Never mind, I just answered my own question...
And while I'm here...
Any software out there beside MS Money that can do investments better than Quicken, but still handle mundane stuff like checking accounts?
