Ah, si, mil gracias. Mi maestra me enseñó este, pero fue probablamente anticuado.
Hola manudt, nice seeing you!
No, este has no accent unless there is possible a confusion . In grammar this is called "tilde diacrítica"
Se llama tilde diacrítica al acento gráfico que permite distinguir palabras con idéntica forma, es decir, escritas con las mismas letras, pero que pertenecen a categorías gramaticales diferentes.
Look at these two examples:
Dijo que ésta mañana vendrá. [ésta = esta mujer]
Dijo que esta mañana vendrá. [esta = esta mañana]
Remember, not even solo takes an accent any more, except to avoid confusion. Link in Spanish for grammar freaks:

Yes, I think éste (with an accent) has the meaning of "this one", vs este with a meaning of simply "this".

Hi cherry, I will take your correction to add some others:
este doesn't need an accent (any mre, it used to but the rule has changed some time ago)
In Spanish we do not use the personla pronoun: Vivo en Montana.
saludos
