Stock transaction download configuration Hal Mann 11-07-2007

I do a lot of stock transactions and download them every day using Quicken
Home and Business 2007 into two separate Quicken files.

The first file I've used for more than a decade. For this file, when a new
stock symbol shows up on my downloaded transactions, Quicken asks me if it
is one already in my list. I can choose one that's already there or let it
add the symbol as a new one. This file was originally Quicken Premier. I
recently upgraded to Home and Business.

But...in the new 2nd file I created for a business, the download just
merrily adds new symbols and descriptions without asking me. How do I
configure this so it asks?

Appreciate any guidance.

Thanks
Hal

There is no such "configuation".

And if this is not the very first download to the new account, I
know of nothing you can do. If it is the first download, that
should be the only download that will act that way.

But if this is the first download to a New Quicken file, I'm not
clear on what the actual problem is - it sounds like you had no
securities in your Security List when you initiated the download
... so having Quicken add the securities automatically shouldn't
be a problem ... and there would have been nothing for Quicken
to ask you about since all the securities had to be new.

Hi John,

This isn't the first download to the new file. I download transactions
every day from my brokerage account. Invariably I have new stocks that I
traded during the prior day. If it doesn't find a match, it just adds the
new ones. In my other quicken file, it always asks me whenever there is a
new stock. I can't figure out why downloads from the same broker to two
separate quicken files act differently.

A puzzlement?

Hal
