Quicken XG 2005 - Data Downloads

Mar 08, 2008 4 Replies

I have Quicken XG 2005 and it appears that, after 1 Apr 2008, I can no longer use it to get downloads and price updates. I am not sure what that really means. Price downloads for things like stock and mutual funds, I assume come through a Quicken process whereby Quicken on a local machine contacts a Qucken server somewhere and downloads pricing and stock market information. When it comes to banking information, I go to my bank web site, identify what account, what data I want to download, what format, and commence the downloand into Quicken.



As of 1 Apr 08, what will I no longer be able to do? Price downloads through the Quicken system, bank account downloads, or both?



Thanks.

Having gone over this, it seems that I cannot use Quicken XG 2005 to pull information through scheduled updates, but I will be able to push data into Quicken. Since I download data from my bank accounts into Quicken (a "push"), this should not be affected. It looks like I can "push" securities data into Quicken as well through a CSV file. Have set up a profile at the Fund Library to provide a NAVPS data download for my funds that I can "push" into Quicken. We'll see how it works out.

I initiate the data download through the bank web site, select the type of file it should formatted (Quicken, MS Money, etc) and initial the download (a "push" into Quicken, as opposed to Quicken initiating the data download, or 'pulling' the information into Quicken). Won't get my first data download from the Fund Library until tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.
