Quicken Deluxe 2005 "Sunset"

Does anyone know if it will still be possible after April 30, 2008 to use
direct web connections to banks and other financial sites to download
financial data into Q2005 Deluxe? This is the method I now use, and it is
acceptable for my purposes, anyway.

Seems as though Intuit legitimately should not be able to interfere with
such access, if their servers are not involved.

I did buy Q2007 Deluxe and tried it, but I like the feel and layout of Q2005
Deluxe a lot better.

TIA....

sunset means discontinuation of online services such as bank
transaction downloads and quote updates.
It was explained on quicken.com somewhere and explained in this group
many times.

You probably meant web connect from a bank's web-site (direct connect is the
path from Qkn and that is what's being discontinued).

For as long as an FI continues to offer web connect for a version of Qkn
then it should work okay. At some point FIs stop supporting a version but
that's their choice.

Intuit servers are "involved" with Web Connect, and Web Connect
will be discontinued along with Direct Connect.

I just did a web connect d/l of a cc and the site offered Q2004 and above
and my Q06 accepted it w/o complaint.
Of course I won't know until next year what will happen when 06 is
sunsetted.
I also connect to sites that simply offer Quicken support - no minimum
version is specified.
