Using Win98 and Launchpad (www.cypressnet.com)... I'm getting the auto update to run ok (one server).
However on autoexit the /Q switch brings up the "confirm you want to exit" box. This dialog box
echos until the program gpfs. Any suggestions here... I want to auto save and exit FM?

I'm using launchpad (scheduler) because it allows me to autorun FM with my password enabled...
This doesn't seem possible with the W98 task scheduler (or I can't figure it out.)

Also could you consider increasing the size of the "comments" box in the "forum submit follow up."

: Mark,

: Actually its one portfolio consisting of both stocks and mutual funds (requires two different servers to update).
: Currently I run the update manually, change the internet settings to the new server, and run it manually again (same portfolio)
: I guess I could duplicate this 'all' portfolio and save the internet settings for each server, set the command line switches, and have
: windows schedule task flip flop the portfolios (I don't know how to do this)...however 'IF' it works it sounds like a lot of work!

: Couldn't you just set a radio botton on the servers (future editions that is), and choose more than one server, then run this from the one command line switch?

: : : I love the auto-update feature in 4.0, however I need to poll
: : : both Yahoo (stocks), and Quicken Canada (mutuals) update my 'all'

: : : Any chance of being able to do this (automatically) in the future... ie not having to manually change Internet
: : : settings to / from Quicken CA / Yahoo.

: : : It would also be useful to be able to set one time for the update... eg. midnight
