Yes, Money 2005 has a provision for doing something similar, but

it doesn't seem to work;

Tools > Settings > Invesnt Settings then click the Portfolio
Manager button. This pop-up has a check box that one can check,
then key in a time interval. I have mine set at 9000 minutes, but
the damned thing still insists on updating every half hour if I
leave MSM running. It will also update immediately after I start
MSM up. It won't give me time to see what the old figures were.

I have been struggling with this problrm since I upgraded from

Money 2002 to 2005, a few weeks ago. I have set this time
interval to 9000 minutes (approximately 4 years), but I still get
automatic portfolio updates every few minutes. There is something
else controling this, but I can't locate it. Someone is playing
games with us on this one!

M2005 IS different in exactly this area. Your suggestions won't work as MS
have removed that option.

M05 is different, in oh, so many ways.

I use 2004, so MAY be different, but on mine it does NOT Auto-update,
To turn it on, I'd go to TOOLS - OPTIONS - Auto-update (check the box )
Try it - maybe you can UNCHECK a box

Well, I have not tested this idea yet, but my plan to solve the problem of
Money 2005 automatically updating prices is to remove the stock and mutual
fund symbols (e.g., "LLY" for Eli Lilly & Company) from all active accounts.

Personally, I only update prices once per month, and doing this task
manually with a small number of stocks and mutual funds (as I have done with
Money 2004) is not a big problem.

I have my stock/mutual funds listed on my MSN home page, and so I only need
to view that one website to obtain the information necessary to manually
enter the price updates.

Sorry - stopping Money getting out via your firewall is the only way that
many of us have come up with. There is an option to set the time interval
but that doesn't allow a very big number of seconds.

I recently switched from Money 2002 to 2005.

Now every time I start Money or open the "Portfolio" it automatically
updates the quotes (in 2002 it did it only when I requested to). I use a
different accounting system where Assets must match Liabilities. So every
time I start Money it goes out of balance. This feature alone makes this
version of Money unusable for me.

Before I revert back to 2002, has anybody found a way to stop this
behaviour? I didn't.

I am already thinking on the solutions like disabling traffic to
data.moneycentral.msn.com (or whatever the quote server is) and enable it
only when I really need to update quotes (I do it ONCE per day); however I
still did not find a way to make this procedure as easy as a mouseclick.
