I'm a little confused by your post; I think you may have entered
the wrong version name at one or more spots in your post.
1.) You can have more than one version of Quicken installed in
different folders on the same pc. My experience is that there
were no major problems, but several small to medium zingers
(depending on your needs). And you're right; only one version
of Quicken can be running at a time.
2.) There is no way that Q2000 will process data created by
Q2005. No older version of Quicken will process data from any
newer version of Quicken. Indeed, if you attempt to open Q2005
data in Q2000, you might actually damage the Q2005 data.
3.) Q2000 should *not* be able to download account transactions
or prices; its download capability was sunsetted(eliminated)
several years ago. Of the two versions you have, only Q2005
still has the capability to download. I use Q2005 Deluxe, US,
and I do not have any downloading problems.
