assistant: "transfer stocks !" shouted silently by ROBERT
I thought of that but there is no cash involved.  In this case, both stocks
are through the same mutual fund firm and one stock is exchanged for
another at current values.  In any case, to sell one stock and then enter a
purchase for the other stock would involve some sort of intermittent
holding account, wouldn't it?  That seems like a waste of good HD space
to setup a new account for a one time transaction.
Thanks for the suggestions.

assistant: You don't have to set up a separate "intermittent" holding account. Quicken
does this function automatically.  Quicken justr shows the money as cash in
the account until you reinvest it in another stock.
If your mutual fund account has check writing feature or if you often have a
lorge cash balance, you can configure the account to have a cash account
associated with it.   You can do this either when you first set up the
account or you can add this feature to an existing account.

Write your reply.

course, this could all be avoided by just buying all the stocks at the lowest
price each day (grin).

I have a Money Market account with the Mutual Fund group, if I need to add a
few dollars to stock (dollar average) I get on the computer and transfer it
or get on the phone and have it moved. If you buy/sell something it goes to
the stock or MM account. My IRA automatically deposited to my MM account each
month. Each MM,MF and Security has a register just like a checking account.

It's a 401k plan. The only cash is what goes in to purchase the stocks.

assistant: Then, just "sell" the first stock.  Quicken will now show a line in the
portfolio view with the money invested in "Cash" (just like the lines for
each of the other stocks).  Now, when you "purchase" the other stock the
"Cash" investment disappears and a new line for the new stock appears.  In
your case, the reinvestment would be immediate; so the "Cash" would only be
there while you are entering the transactions.  When you finished, the money
would all be shown in the new stock.
Quicken does the transaction exactly as your broker holding the 401k plan
does.  He can't trade the stocks.  He has to sell one at the current value
and use that $$ to purchase the other stock.

assistant: Have you tried calling Intuit/Quicken technical support? They helped
me find what my problem was fairly quickly.
What are the symptoms when you try to D/L the update?
If by chance your getting a disk write error (with some error
number), check to see that your TEMP environment variable is
pointing to a disk drive that has 10meg free space or more.
That was the problem I was having, my TEMP variable was pointing
to a ramdisk that was only 3meg and the process needed more space
than that.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Write your reply.

assistant: If the data files already exist, simply copy them to what ever drive and
directory you want to use.  Then, use File -> Open.  Quicken asks which drive
and directory to look in for the files.  Enter the correct location.
If the data files don't exist, use File -> New to create them on what ever
drive and directory you want.
Quicken lists the last 4 data file locations that you opened at the bottom of
the File menu.  This makes it easy to open the data files the next time even
if they are in different directories.  (You probably can even change the .ini
file to increase the number of data file locations Quicken lists there.)
