I do recall that there are problems with scheduled updates with
Quicken files that have a password. I do not recall any
problems with scheduled updates with Quicken files that have no
password.

Nuts, I forgot to mention. Scheduled updates use the last
Quicken file you had open before the scheduled update occurs.
If that's the file that had the password, that might be the
source of the problem.

Rick, John, Han - thank you all as usual for your kind replies. I did take
the password off my QDF file John, and retried process without success.
Rick - I am loath to delete and recreate the vault; this isn't THAT big a
deal, but I fear you might be right in that I've tried all options you three
have given me (including resetting the vault pin), but no joy. Han - glad
it worked for you ultimately!

Not that big a deal. I've lived with manual OSU updates for a dozen years
or so...I just stumpled across this a day or so ago, and I thought it might
be neat if I could get it work.

Happy New Year to you 3.

Sorry about it not working for you. I'm probably going to take off the
automatic OSU, and keep doing it manually. Doing it late at night isn't
giving me the data because some FI are late supplying it (TIAA for
example).

Happy New Year to all!

Which is why I want to do it at 6 AM - about an hour before I come down here
as I am doing now early Friday morning!
I may bite the bullet this weekend and delete/recreate the vault as Rick had
suggested if I am glutten for punishment.
