What file formats for Q2007? Mr. 01-24-2007

I'm looking to upgrade from Quicken 2004. I've not done so yet because
of the .qif file format issue. What file formats are usable for
importing into 2007 and for what type of accounts? I recently found a
few converters that will take a .qif file and convert it to a .ofx or
.qfx file format. Will these converters be needed? I really don't
want to get rid of my bank just because they only offer .qif
downloads...

I haven't used Q2007, but in 2006, you can import the QIF file.

You can't import .qfx files into checking, savings, 401K, and
investment files into Quicken 2005, so I doubt you can in any available
upgrade to 2004

I'm guessing you meant to say you can't import ".qif" files into
checking, savings, 401k, etc.

I know that's what Intuit says and what Quicken Help says ...

But you *can* import qif files into every account type in every
version of Quicken through Q2006 ... and I believe Q2007 as
well.

It's also what Quicken enforces by not being allowed in the pulldown to
accept those types of accounts as the object of the import. (Don't jump on
me yet, read on!)

But not directly, right? Don't you have some magically methodology to do
this? When I try, indeed Quicken DOESN'T let me import into Checking, for
example. But that's because those accounts aren't available in the drop
down list. So, I assume you must mean you can via some other fashion John?

I really am not trying to be cute here, but the average joe like me doesn't
understand why you say this. I am, however, using Q2007 if that makes a
difference.
