I have my macro mostly working but a new snag is I want to uncheck the checkbox shown.
So this is two problems. One is to find the current value and the second to alter it.
I know about mouse relative clicking but that is relatively fragile. But even with that, how do I know if I need to uncheck it or not. It appears as if it always comes up checked but I'd rather not depend upon that.
Is Quicken AppleScript-able?

No. The gossip is the old versions were but the new versions have no AppleScript support.
I opened Script Editor and did Open Dictionary but Quicken isn't selectable.
Hey Perry,
First thing – check to see if the Press a Button action can press the checkmark button.
I'm doubtful, but this has worked before in cases where I didn't think it would.
If that works then you’ve got the Button condition for an IF/THEN.
If that doesn't work then run this macro with the given window frontmost.

Post the result. Zip a text file if necessary.
This will tell us how much AppleScript UI-Scripting can see of that window.

While Quicken might not have it's own AppleScript dictionary , it's likely that it can be controlled by GUI AppleScript.
If you do what @ccstone mentioned, we should be able to give some more info on how to control it through GUI.

Your "Front Window Analysis Tool" is awesome!!! The output seems very understandable. I'll use it next time I get into a jam.
