Pick a software title..to downgrade to the version you love!

Quicken Deluxe has been around for so long and offers so much that its user experience is a little uneven. Its blend of old and new content can be a little jarring when compared with a solution. Personal Capital (Free) Personal Capital is the best personal finance software for Mac and best of all, unlike Quicken it’s actually free to use. If you already use Intuit’s other budgeting tool Mint (see review later), you’ll really like Personal Capital because it’s got the same feel but with far more powerful investment tracking. Quicken is the most powerful money management software on the market. Learn more.For more Tips and Tricks, visit:https://www.quicken. So how do you write a review about a product that hasn't significantly changed in the past 3 years, but is now triple the cost it used to be. For those of you just now considering Quicken, you used to be able to buy an instance of Quicken that would typically give you the ability to download transactions for 3 years or so.

Quicken is a package that works pretty well, but the manufacturer has a tendency to periodically block functionality.

For example, Quicken 2006 has been unable to download updated stock prices since April 2009. Quicken 2006 itself installs on even the latest Windows 10 (2016) just fine. [As an aside, it is just amazing that Windows 10 has kept compatibility alive for old software - Quicken 2006, as well as the SendKeys method used by the script below! Kudos to Microsoft!]

There is certainly no technical decision to disable automatic stock price updates - it is just a marketing push, so make people upgrade even if they do not desire to move to a new version.

Quicken does have a manual 'Import Prices' command seen when viewing the Portfolio. Therefore, it is not too hard to write a script that will download current prices, and import them into Quicken.

It is a .WSF file, a Windows Shell Scripting program. It has been tested to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista as well as Windows 10 (2016), and is available in source code form.

The script looks up historical and current prices for a list of symbols, and stores the prices in the format Quicken needs. Optionally, it can automate the import of the prices in Quicken by using Windows automation SendKeys method.

And here are links to look at the key files: QImportP.wsf, the README, and the ChangeLog file.

Prices are looked up using the Yahoo Finance web site. Quicken manual import prices only accepts date and price for a symbol, it cannot import volume and other data.

The script does try to automate loading of the price data into Quicken, but the mechanism of using SendKeys is very fragile, it may not always work - keys may get to the wrong window, or at the wrong time.

Version 0.3 of this package added support for non-US users, based on the code given in a comment (#5535), the /dmy and /div100 options provide that support. From what has been reported elsewhere on the web, shares and mutual fund price downloads in UK are priced differently - shares in pence, funds in pounds (or vice-versa?). So QImportP provides the /div100 option which can be used when needed.
