An automatic update of that stock price occurred?

You could blank the symbol. That will prevent fetching quotes for
that stock.

Cal,
Thanks for your advice. She opted to try
:Portfolio-> UpdatePrices-> PickQuotesToDownload
She unchecked one stock to experiment with it's effectiveness before
venturing on with the remainder, but the stock updated automatically even
after she made the change in pickquotestodownload. After she made the
modifications she closed the program and rebooted her computer. Later that
day an automatic update occured.

Suggestions?

Kind regards,
Bob

She could go to Tools-> Settings-> AccessYourMoneyDataOnTheWeb, and
turn that off. She may want to consider removing the Passport/LiveID
from her file (File-> PasswordManager). Those will also disable the
ability to do manually-triggered automatic updates from "third
party"-accessed institutions.

If she were trying to just stop quotes, she could go to
Portfolio-> UpdatePrices-> PickQuotesToDownload and de-select them
all. Click OK.

I suggest you review her backup strategy, making sure that she backs
up not only to her hard drive, but to a USB flash drive as often as
needed to make a hard drive failure not too catastrophic.

Cal,
I'm trying to help my mother fix her 2006 Money program from afar. She
wants money to update the portfolio ONLY if she does it manually. She has
unchecked "updateautomatically every ___mins" but still updates occur. Is
there a setting elsewhere that globally affects portfolio updates where she
can disable ANY automatic updates?

Make your start page be the Account List with
Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings-> (DisplayStartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:AccountList
and see if things speed up.

While it is not regarding the start-up, I would clear
Portfolio-> UpdatePrices-> UpdateAutomaticallyEvery__Minutes for
better speed when entering and returning to the portfolio view.

It reaches out and touches mom every time it starts. I think it's looking
for new ads and program updates and the like. M06 also reaches out to get
quotes even if you tell it not to, IIRC.

EVERYTIME I start money 06, it takes around 1-2 minutes before I can do an
"update accounts online". The message box indicates another online operation
is in progress.

I have turned off shopping links, ads, automatic updates and anything else I
can find, such as cash flow forecast on the home page.

Any ideas helpful now.
