The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95 == 

= SUMMARY =

This article describes the requirements for using Internet Quotes or Quotes Online in Money 5.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Money provides free download of stock quotes using Internet Quotes. If you do not have Internet access, Online Quotes can be obtained through a service for a fee or directly through Intuit Service Center (ISC).

When you setup Online Quotes, there is a choice of services:

(None) - self explanatory

Internet Quotes - You must have an active account with an Internet service provider to use Internet Quotes

Quotes Online - a dial-up service provided by your bank or directly by Intuit Service Center (ISC).

Requirements for Using Internet Quotes
Internet Quotes requires a working connection to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider.

The Internet Quotes connection in Money works directly with WSock32.dll included with Windows 95. Most full-service Internet Providers support the WSock32.dll. Some service providers require custom software to access their service. For any questions about your Internet connection compatibility, ask the service provider if they support the Windows 95 WSock32.dll.

Money’s Internet Quotes automatically starts the connection to the Internet if the service provider uses the standard connection method included with Windows 95. If your provider uses a different method, you may need to start your Internet connection before starting Money.

NOTE: America Online (AOL) 3.0 for Windows and Prodigy do not meet these standards. As They use proprietary 16 bit software. However America Online (AOL) 3.0 for Windows95 does (it just needs to be running).

Requirements for using Quotes Online
You must contact your bank or ISC to enable Quotes Online. If you do not have the service enabled, open the Application Form to sign up. Fees for this service are set by the bank or ISC.

Quotes Online is accessed via a direct dial up connection and does not require Internet access.
