    Does the account support transaction downloading?

    Is this a publicly traded security with a ticker, or something special to the 529?

    What specific problem are you having?

    I assume you mean it is publicly traded but you can't download transactions. In that case you should go to Tools > Security and add the security to Quicken, making sure the Download Quotes box is checked when you are done.

    Then transfer the cash contribution from a banking account in Quicken to the 529 account, then in the 529 account, enter a Buy transaction to purchase the new security.

    It is a Vanguard 529. These 529s do not have ticker symbols and are not publicly traded. Quicken allows only one security in a 529 and it cannot be modified in any way except prices and quantities. The fund in this 529 is age based and Vanguard just raised it to the next level. I sold the first fund, put the cash into a holding account and then bought the new fund.
