Any ideas how to manually enter dividend reinvestment transactions in Quicken 2015?
Any ideas how to manually enter dividend reinvestment transactions in Quicken 2015? I have tried using the Reinvest Dividend Type, but it does not appear to be working correctly. If I use the current date, it seems to work correctly. When I use a prior date it does not update the number of shares and shows that I need to add a cost basis.

Well, dnm14, this appears to be an out-and-out bug.
I've reproduced this using the latest Q2015/Mac release (2.0.4) with an imported Q2007/Mac datafile. Interestingly, the bug did not occur when I used a datafile built from scratch.
I'll add this to the list of 2.0.4 bugs I'm reporting to Intuit, to make sure it gets looked at.
Thanks!
Also, this problem happens as soon as the transaction is backdated (in my case, this is necessary because I'm adding transactions that were not in my Quicken 2007 data at the time it was converted.) As soon as I set the transaction to the current date, the "Add Cost Basis" button goes away.
