I don't have Q2007, so I'm not sure just how Quicken "indicates
that ING Direct accounts can be updated via one-step-update".
But Q2007 has the ability to download Web Connect accounts using
One Step Update.
Based on what I have read so far, the capability is not working
as designed yet ... but when it does, you will be able to
download your Web Connect accounts with a One Step Update - the
new feature is called Express Web Connect. (Data for Express
Web Connect is collected only once a day, unlike One Step Update
which gets the most current data available.)
[I believe there are a few financial institutions that will not
permit Express Web Connect - I don't know if that's permanent,
or just some slowness in getting the capability in place.]
