New to Quicken and using 2010 Home / Business version.

Have account set up so it downloads from the on line account but can't
figure out how to setup the ESPP account in Quicken. The Wizard is
only allows for one input. I have stock purchases from previous years
and without having those, the account does not tally correctly.

Not expecting someone to give step by step instructions but a reference
to an explanation on how to setup an ESPP account would be nice.

Load your data file.

In Quicken click Help > Quicken Help.
Click Tab Search Quicken Help.

copy and paste "ESPP account"(without quotes), Click Ask.

Click the one topic found.

Print the topic, Follow instructions.

Help is the first place to ask questions about any Windows Program.
May not be much help, but you can always ask anyway.

Thank you and I had done exactly that. Got 13 topics found and read
them all. It has you entering your paycheck as a register transaction.
No paycheck transactions required for this account (paid up - so to
speak) but earning money still. But I get the jist of the idea and may
have to still setup the paycheck account and just not make any entries.
Right now I have it entered as a stock account and update it manually.
Guess that is the only way to do this one.

Thanks for your time and effort.
