Easier Investment Entry
Enter and edit investment transactions directly in the register. In versions previous to Quicken 2006, the user was required to fill in a pop-up form instead of entering investment transactions directly into the register. Now, just use the register as you would other transactions. The Quicken 2006 investment register has investment-specific options to choose from when entering investment transactions.Transactions Calendar

When opening a report in versions of Quicken previous to Quicken 2006, an alert pops up to warn the user if new categories have been established since the report was last used. I rarely found any new categories which would affect my saved report and found this warning to be intrusive because it made me take extra steps to get to my report. Now when this warning comes up, you needn’t review your categories and can instead choose to view your Quicken report as it was saved or even disable this warning altogether.
