I just installed Q2007 and tried to add one step update to my BofA
account (I am in the People's Republic of Massachusetts).
Got an error: "Quicken was unable to update your accounts due to an
error on the Quicken server...". and they advise to "try again later".
We'll see when I try again tomorrow.

My hunch, though, is that BofA won't support this kind of download
unless I sign up for the $10/month direct connect stuff, which I won't do.

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having exactly the same
problem here in Mass.

Seems to me your problem is different.

This user is concerned that Express Web Connect is not working.

You said you were concerned because Quicken *forced* you to use
One Step Update (Express Web Connect) for your Web Connect
account with BofA. I find that difficult to believe; I think
there are a number of people who are having trouble with Express
Web Connect, who have successfully reverted to simple Web
Connect downloads.

My Quicken accounts are setup for Direct downloads (One Step
Update downloads) from BofA - not Web Connect downloads; but I
can do a Web Connect download from them anytime. I just logon
to their web site, navigate to the appropriate screen, and click
the "Download" link. I can't think of any reason why you can't
do the same. I think straight Web Connect downloads are
available to any BofA user, anytime.

Nope, same problem. (sort of). By forced, I mean that if I want to
keep everything contained in one application, my only choice is OSU
with EWC. Now, it's not a huge deal to open a separate web browser to
download, but shouldn't Quicken at the very least mimic the old
behaviour and allow me to stay in one application?

Furthermore, even though it implies EWC will work with these accounts,
it doesn't - some reports on the quicken forums indicate that it may
have stopped working recently.
