I just installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. Quicken 5.6.3 crashes every time on launch. Any ideas? Runs great for me on High Sierra.
Thanks for the suggestion. I should have indicated in my post that I do get to the password screen. "Quicken quick unexpectedly" screen appears after I enter my password. Holding down the shift key didn't change that.

Same here. Shift-launch opens Quicken as expected and asks me if I want to open my file (which is the only file I use). Then if I select a different account in Quicken sidebar, Quicken crashes.

Hitting Cancel opens "Let's Get Started" screen. Choosing "Open Quicken File" and choosing my data file crashes. Choosing "Start from Scratch" seems to work, although I don't feel like continuing down that path for a Beta.
Wait a sec. This is a beta -- and early beta -- of macOS. Some things are expected to not work right. The developers at Quicken will certainly test their apps on the new OS sometime before it ships in September. We don't know if they've begun that process yet; many developers choose to wait until later in Apple's beta testing to even test, because Apple is often changing so many things, enabling and disabling certain features, during the early betas. Apple also releases a ton of documentation to developers about things that are changing in a new OS, so the problem you're experiencing might be something developers know they need to change in a release of Quicken prior to September; it might be something they're already working on for the 5.7 or 5.8 releases of Quicken later this summer.
My suggestion is simply to set aside Quicken on Mojave for now, now that it's been documented that there are problems. There's no point in spending more time on it now, as something(s) are clearly broken. Try it again as the subsequent betas roll out from Apple at 2-3 week intervals. As @RickO suggests, for anyone interested in diving deeper, becoming part of the Quicken beta testing group will allow you to test and provide feedback to the developers as things advance closer to the release of Mojave.

What you are saying is absolutely correct. Very early beta.
I actually installed the beta to check the functionality of QM2007 in Mojave. I posted my experiences regarding that endeavor in another post started by smayer97.
The beta is installed on an external drive and does not affect my use of either QM2007 or QM2018, both of which run beautifully in High Sierra on my primary drive.

This is the first time rewritten Quicken has crashed for me in a Mac OS beta.
I know of at least one other user of Mojave beta who is having no problems with QM2018. I have transactions back into 2002; his go back into 1998. So I suspect there must be something different between our data files.
Is there a way to scan a QM2018 data file for problematic transaction entries?

Just something for me to play with.
Thanks for the feedback but let's keep the discussions separate between QM2018 and QM2007 or it will get very confusing.
I'm running QM 2018 5.6.3 (Build 56.22447.100) and recently installed Mac OS Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A314k) on a late 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 GHz i5. I have have not noticed any problems working with Quicken Connect or Direct accounts but I do see a couple of GUI drop-down formatting issues. I have an old iMac with El Capitan to fall back to in case it goes south but, so far, so good.
It would be helpful if any future posts in this thread identify which version of Mojave beta you are using. As of July 6, Apple has released the third developer/second public beta version of the Mojave beta (build 18A326g).
(As a point of comparison, last year's High Sierra reached 8 public and 9 developer betas before it was released in September 2017 -- so there's still a long way to go over the next two months before Mojave approaches a final release.)
