Quicken 2008 Update Status Dialog geoff 02-02-2008

With quicken 2005 and previous versions, when an update is done, a dialog
opens showing the status of the update. So, for example, the dialog would
show:

- Updating stock prices
- Updating Securities
- Updating Bank Information

. . . etc. It seems that feature has been taken out in Q2008 or is there
any way to get it back?

As best I can tell, this feature has been replaced in Q2008 by logos to the
left of account names in the Account Bar. Accounts to be updated have a
bluish donut-shaped logo which turns orange and spins for the account
currently being updated. The logo then becomes an orange flag if there are
updates to review. You won't see these logos if your Account Bar is
minimized.

When the entire update is complete, by default, the One Step Update Summary
appears. If it doesn't appear, click Online -> One Step Update Summary and,
if desired, check or uncheck the "Show this dialog only if there is an
error" box at the bottom of the window.

Does this answer your question?

Yes, thanks, however, I was hoping the answer would be, 'It is turned on by
doing . . .'.

I have it turned oof, since I hate it. It only comes up when there is an
error in the transmission/updating (which happens too often). I use the
flags on the account bar list. Much easier on the eyes (IMNSHO).

I'm able to see that update status you're asking for - it looks a bit
different from 2005 version, though.
After OSU started (once the passwords are typed in), I click on the
Update icon again - that brings up the status view.
