This updater pulled by Quicken! - Version: 12.0.4, 1/8/2004 02:23PM PST

Don't be surprised if this download doesn't work! I called Quicken and they said that the updater was "causing problems for users and has been pulled from the website. A replacement updater should be up there soon." Don't hold your breath! By the number of disgruntled users on this website (and those who've switched to the reportedly buggy 2004 version), I'm not surprised more people aren't jumping ship, trying to find a reliable solution for their personal finances.

this program sucks, not just for mac but PC as well, I've used it on both platforms and it agitated me almost as much as Windows NT from several years back.

Quicken uses the Mac OS "date formatting preference" to control the way it displays dates or interprets dates that you type. This means that Quicken lacks a separate date formatting rule independent of the system. Conversely, when Quicken bugs force you to adopt a particular date format for Quicken, you have to adopt it for the entire system. Be warned of the following bugs (that have remained uncorrected for several years):
1. If you display the date with four digits for the year, many fields nevertheless allow space sufficient only for 6 digits and two slashes. (A format without separators such YYYYMMDD is not prohibited but won't work.)
2. If you use YYYY/MM/DD order, Quicken occasionally crashes. To recover, you must export all data in an interchange format and then reimport it. This process preserves transaction records, but loses all record of scheduled payments and other such conveniences. (YYYY/MM/DD has many advantages in sorting, and is standard in Japan and some European countries.)
3. Before you export and reimport, you MUST adopt MM/DD/YY format as the system (and hence Quicken) date format. Failure to do so results in trashing your export data. This "feature" is noted in the documentation-- but the persistence of this stupidity for years is probably due to Intuit's indifference (since it has long ben reported).
