Thats what it looks like BB. I opened Quicken earlier this evening and it said something about update available. I was aware of Kurtv's post and thought I will just cancel and update manually. Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked OK instead of CANCEL. Well the task manager didnt show Quicken running and it just looked like nothing was happening. OH ! -OH !! I did notice that my wireless connection was working a decent level of the bandwidth so there was still some hope. After what seemed like forever, it completed !! The updated applied. It looks like the engineers forgot about the update status bar !!
