dividends? DotCom 04-19-2007

I am using Quicken Basic 2007 in Vista.
I started a Scottrade online account not long ago and it has been
downloading into Quicken and balancing against Scottrade daily just fine
until now. I received a dividend from Diageo for $49.38 on the 17th in
Scottrade which is exactly what my balance is off in Quicken. How does
Quicken handle dividends? Should I just manually enter it in the stock
register? Does anyone here have a scottrade account and use QB 2007 with
it? I am all new at this so please explain in easy terms.
TIA
Paula

Quicken handles dividends properly. The downloaded transactions may be
incorrect, but they should be easy to correct.

Did you receive the dividend in cash? or was it reinvested?

Either way, simply enter (or edit) the transaction to reflect what really
happened.
