Q2010, WXP
The latest version of Q2010 has several big problems. It is very slow,
particularly when opening an account of 39 M size or opening the Portfolio
view (using the new method).

Worse, each time I download data from my brokerage, it shows the wrong cost
basis for things like money market funds and misses some purchase cost
bases. It requires a recalculation of each account to fix the problem.

The fix is easy: DON'T DOWNLOAD brokerage data. I never have and I get
along just fine.

Well, that will solve your problem. But then, you
could just as easily say "Don't use Quicken".

I use Fidelity for about 95% of my financial
transactions. All my stocks and options are held
there, all my bills are paid through there,
and our hand written checks clear through there.

And although I have a "guy" to do my taxes, I like
being able to run a report after the year and have
it match the forms that the IRS gets from Fido.

If Q-2010 is completely broken when downloading
brokerage data (which is NOT what the original
poster said, I'm just using hyperbole here), then
the way *I* will fix the problem is to stop using
Quicken.

LeBon had written this in response to
http://www.rockryno.com/quicken/Re-Quicken-2010-problems-19659-.htm :
I'm seeing problems with downloads from Schwab. I just saw Quicken 2010
(running on Vista) lose 3 or 4 dowloaded buy/sell transactions, and
proceed to corrupt the file. Running Validate cleaned up the file, but
did not recover the lost transactions. This makes me start to question
the accuracy of all my accounts. Not good!
