Using Quicken Premier 2006 which seems not to download quotes anymore.
Some months ago someone came up with a workaround. He used a small
program to download quotes in csv a format which them could be imported
into quicken.
Can some one help?
How do you continue getting quotes using an older version of Quicken?
Thanks for any help.
Nathan

Yahoo Finance can do this. Set up a portfolio, and the stock info can
be downloaded into a .csv file.

In Quicken, go to a portfolio view. from the file menu, select 'import'.
The prices will import into Q.

Q2006 online services and support have been sunsetted; so no more quote
downloads using Q2006.

There is a free app called Netstock which runs on your desktop and pulls
quotes at a frequency you choose. When you are ready to import the prices
into Quicken, you tell Netstock to create a .csv file of the prices, which
you then import (File > Import > Import Prices ... with the Portfolio tab
displayed).

One caution: Netstock always dates the quotes exported to the csv file
with today's date ... even when it knows better. If you import prices
before the mutual funds have computed their prices for the day, you will
get yesterday's mutual fund prices with today's date.

Sorry, meant to mention that Netstock is free, you can find it with
Google.
