As a work around I set my firewall to block communications until I want to
initiate them.

Logon offline first. Do what you want to do with the old information. Then
close it and logon with passport when you want to have the updates.

In Money 2005, even if you turn off updates it will update anyway.

Microsoft has improved this "feature" in Money 2006. You can turn it off
but it will go through the update process anyway but not show the updated
prices. With automatic updates disabled in Money 2006 you have to tell it to
manually update in order for it to both perform the update process and show
the updated prices!

Also, not sure if this is only with Passport sign-in, but you can get Money
2006 to immediately update quotes by either navigating to the Portfolio
Manager or, from the Home page with Investment Summary displayed, just
minimize Money to the taskbar. Once it is restored, quotes will be
immediately updated!

One can only wonder the amount of coding it took Microsoft to accidentally
produce these "features".

Sadly, no. But M05 does provide lots of neat related links to find great
credit card rate deals.

Is there a way to turn off automatic updates in money 2005 so that when I
first open the program it does not update my stock prices?

Thanks,
