Hi Chaps,
Thanks for your advice. Sorry for the late response, but as my old XP
laptop finally gave up the ghost, I've been offline and now forced
into buying a Vista laptop.
Anyway, to answer my own question and also for anyone else in the same
boat as me, Yes, Quicken DOES work without problems on Vista Home
Premium.
Thanks again,
John.

You're welcome. Glad to help. I was waiting for someone to pop in,
citing another difference between the US and UK versions that I wasn't
aware of, and that makes my suggestion untenable, but since nobody has
(yet), it might work for you.
