Quicken 2007 Mac & ETF's

Hello all,

I¹ve used Quicken for Mac for 10 years, and I¹ve had very few
issues/problems with the software.  I have the latest Quicken 2007 update
installed on my original ³Snowball² iMac, which is running OS 10.4.11.
Right now I¹m having trouble getting historical prices on three ETF¹S that
I¹ve added to the ³watch list² in my portfolio.  Two of the ETF¹s are iPath
funds (I can¹t remember their symbols right now), the other is a SPDR Gold
Fund (GLD).

I am able to get regular price updates when I access Quicken Quotes, but I¹d
like to get whatever historical prices are available on these ETF¹s.  Since
there isn¹t an ³ETF² category in the quote setup window, I¹ve tried setting
up these fund both as mutual funds and as stocks‹and it doesn¹t matter‹the
historical prices for these three ETF¹s fail to load.

Has anyone else using Quicken for Mac had this problem?  What workaround was
successful for you?  Like I said, the daily prices do update properly, it¹s
just that I can¹t seem to get historical prices on these ETF¹s, even for the
past month or quarter.

Thanks,

Jean in VA

I had a similar problem on the Windows version of Quicken with FXE, the
Euro Currency. The history data just would not download.

I downloaded the price history as a CSV file from Yahoo,
(http://finance.yahoo.com). I edited the file in "OpenOffice.org Calc"
which is similar to Excel. I then imported the history from the
resulting file into Quicken.

It only took a few minutes total.
