 I am still using Quicken 2002 Deluxe and would like to update but all
the recent versions I have looked at are only for the US market.
Can anyone please tell me what was the latest UK version?

 There isn't a current version of Quicken in the UK. Intuit dropped all
support for Quicken in the UK earkier this year to concentrate on
Quickbooks. The last UK version were the various flavours of Quicken XG.

You're outta luck. Intuit UK dropped the product (and users) earlier
this year. The last version available in the UK market was Quicken XG
2004.

Unfortunately you won't be able to convert your UK data file to one of
the international flavours of Quicken. They're not compatible.

Not sure what you mean by "Unfortunately you won't be able to convert
your UK data file to one of the international flavours of Quicken.
They're not compatible." I have recently loaded Quicken 7 onto a
laptop and my data (UK £ and $CAD) from Quicken 99 (all residing on my
desktop) converted with a bit of a struggle (had to convert in safe
mode). Clearly, UK Banking access and functions specific to the USA
won't be useable but I think basic Quicken functions will work.

I say I think because I haven't really tried to use Quicken 7 as my
first impressions were the interface was so cluttered and no where
near so 'user friendly' as Quicken 99 which satisfies my needs so I
see no point in struggling to adjust to Quicken 7 but I am sure all
the simple functions will work in a UK environment.

When you try to open your UK data file in the Non-UK version of
Quicken (eg. the US version) it pops up a message saying, "European
files are not supported in the US version of Quicken".

That's interesting! Maybe it's different in your version. Is Quicken 7
the latest version, i.e. Quciken 2007?

>Clearly, UK Banking access and functions specific to the USA

I'm used to that! The UK banking access is useless here where I live
(South Africa) anyway...

I'd like to at least have the option of trying it - but I don't...
Intuit no longer offers a trial version. (And the money back
"guarantee" isn't a viable option...)

>but I am sure all

The one thing that I do like in in the more recent versions is the
ability to attach scanned copies of receipts or statements to the
transaction in the register. It's nice for big ticket items...
