    About the sell transaction- Why would you want Quicken to add the number of shares for a stock? You may have several different purchases or a single purchase of a stock and only want to sell a portion of that stock. If Quicken entered the total amount of shares, you would have to correct that entry. You, also, might want to sell from a certain lot if you have more than one lot.

    That's true, but often I may be selling the entire position, and it's just faster to have it auto populate.  Also, when dealing with fractional shares, say in a Mutual Fund position where you may own 122.763 share for example, it's not uncommon to sell the entire position but not know down to the fraction how many shares that is, so this way you wouldn't have to go to the lot screen or trade confirmation to see the fractional breakdown.  Maybe it's just not liking change, but I prefer the way Quicken 2007 handled it.
