Webentry?

Hello. I've been a long time Quicken user. My wife enters her receipts in Quicken.com through webentry, and I download them into my desktop Quicken when I reconcile.

It looks like the webentry link on the Quicken website is gone. I've just signed up for their trial subscription, thinking this now may be a for-fee service, but still can't find how to do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You're right: it is gone.

No "fee for service": it's gone. Intuit says there are not enough users of Web Entry to keep it alive.

Thanks for the info. Not what I had hoped. We've tried PocketQuicken and she's not sufficiently techno-savvy to want to use a Palm.

Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways to import information into Quicken for this type of purpose?

Thanks.

Argh.

The new quicken.com is very different now, and I'm having trouble getting all the information I used to be able to access at a glance. It looks like you have to go through several layers of pages to get the prices of the individual funds in a 401k, for example.

Thanks for the info, John. BTW, where did you find that out? Maybe I can figure out some of my other quicken.com questions from the same source. I'm not having a lot of luck with getting answers from the help pages on quicken.com.

There are several threads on the subject in the Quicken Forums; the posts with the definitive answers - like the fact that Web Entry is discontinued - are the ones posted by Intuit employees, who are identified by having "Quicken" for a "first name".

Big Red Consulting has a few tools for importing into Quicken;

Maybe your wife could enter her receipts into excel so that you can import them into Quicken.

Robert = OK, I'll bite - a question no one asked I think - why doesn't your wife simply enter the transactions into Quicken directly?

You could either make backups every time you finish so if she screws something up you can just use a backup, or train her to always use perhaps a TAG so that you 'verify' her transactions, or post date them til 2099 so they all are way in the future and you can move them back into the right date upon 'validation', or such.

Big Red charges for most of their stuff.

If op's wife is content to use Excel as the source of data, the free Excel macro, "xl2qif" can make QIF files from the Excel rows. [Google will find "xl2qif".]

I thought you could now copy and paste transactions between Quicken file sets, or am I mistaken? If that can be done, a separate file set should be a possibility too, but qif files seem easiest, with the possibility to review before exporting from Excel.

Hi Han - gee, I didn't think cutting/pasting transactions across filesets would work, but lo and behold, you're right and that's another idea. Although for multiple transactions, you would have to constantly open and close the file sets, right?

I am not sure about qif files due to all the hub-bub about some of them working for certain account types, some not. Since I don't use them (qif), I didn't think too much about that.

The official reason: I travel a bit and my laptop goes with me out of town and to work each day.

Unofficial: She regularly messes up her computer and she's not allowed to touch mine.

Cool on #1 Bob - understand. Also understand on #2 as well - I thought as much it had to do with something like that. But #1 is something I didn't consider at all.
