Using Quicken 2008 Deluxe in Windows 7.
Suddenly today, after downloading transactions, as Q went through it
"comparing transactions" a window popped up saying
"Split ratio exceeds 1000:1 maximum". There was only button option on
it: OK, so I clicked on it and the comparison continued and everything
else seemed normal.

Happened in 2 investment accounts and I have never seen this error
before. What does it mean and what should I do?

Additional info: this occurred in 2 accounts in which equities had been
transferred to another account but not yet recorded.

Did any of your securities recently undergo a stock "split"? Did your
financial institution (or Quicken's price servers) download a stock split
transaction?

hard to know. There were many transactions. I will look for it.
Anyway, everything seems correct.

You can see that same message if you initiate a stock split transaction
and enter a number greater than 1000 for new shares and 1 for old shares.

If you really had a stock split with a ratio greater than 1000 to 1; I
think you'd have to use multiple split transactions to achieve the desired
end result.
