 Hi, Ken.

Runs fine on Vista Ultimate x64 - even though the download page says it is
"(32 bit version, Win95, Win98, NT, 2000 & XP)". ;<)

Downloaded and installed smoothly. I added about a dozen stocks and got
their quotes. When I exited the first time, I got Vista's screen that it
"might not have installed properly". I just took the easy way out and
clicked to "install again with recommended settings". In a few seconds, the
window was there again, with the stocks that I had just entered.

Five minutes of playing with it doesn't prove anything, of course, but so
far, so good!

Thanks, RC. I'll try it again.

I redownloaded it--the zip file this time instead of the exe--and it
seems fine. Thanks again.

How do you use the Quicken Export feature? What do you do with the
prices.txt (or whatever name) file it creates?

In Quicken, in the Investement Center screen, pull down file/import/import
prices. Point to the prices.txt that netstock created.
