Paul,

You'll get much better responses, and save yourself a lot of time, if =
you don't treat us like mushrooms. A problem which manifests itself =
under Vista, but was working under XP, is completely different from the =
usual "how do I connect to a network drive" problem.

Regards,
Fred

Everything works great using XP, Must be something wuth vista. Thanks =
for your replys...

Which version do you have?

Your likely problem is that Quicken does not recognize network =
file names. Map your network drive to one that Quicken understands, like =
F:.

Quicken will read from network files when properly mapped.

Reminds me of improper fractions. You know, fractions like 5/2 or =
the like. Some math teacher insist on writing 2 1/2. But improper =
fractions are not improper at all. In fact they are often more useful in =
that often you can better see factoring opportunities.

Same with the above. A UNC path is perfectly valid. It need not be =
mapped to be "proper". In fact mapping it is worse in that you can map a =
drive then perhaps write scripts that depend on that drive mapping. =
Then, down the road, you might inadvertently map it to a different drive =
letter or be forced to map it to another drive letter then have to go =
back and update your scripts.

But alas Quicken doesn't support UNC paths and all I can say is that =
is just sloppy programming.
