Requires complex Excel formulae and programming. I am developing a write-up with accompanying free programs to demonstrate how to set up Excel for particular investment features. I'll not discuss details at this time. The part that I will be selling is a program that plugs the data into the Excel workbook.

Is QB also in danger of extinction? Mikel

For traveling I am interested in the iPad but I do not see any way it could run Quicken. One method would be an on-line Quicken program running in the Safari browser using data that stays on my iPad. That would be an app that I would gladly pay for. Transferring Quicken data from a PC to the iPad and back is not a problem. Eric |
