CodeWeaver's "Crossover Office" lists Quicken support at a 'silver'
compatibility level.

    How does it Work?

    Silver
    This application installs, and runs well enough to be usable. However we
    find it has enough bugs to prevent it from running flawlessly. 


A virtual machine setup might be worthwhile (like VMWare) or perhaps an
LTSP system or remote desktop to access a single Windows server living on
the network that's only used for legacy applications, such as this.

(A friend of mine at LUGOD set up a chiropractor's office in Davis with
such a system.  Each thin client terminal can either be logged into the
'normal' Linux environment, or into the Windows system where their one(?)
Windows-only application was available.)


One thing to remember at all times, of course: back-up :)
