I know that I can do that, but this seems to me this is a step
backwards - shouldn't I just be able to stay in one application (like
I used to in Q2006)?

I think what we are trying to say is that your problem has
nothing to do with going from Q2006 to Q2007; it has to do with
your financial institution.

And, I should have added: your approach to the changes that have
occurred.

What fee? You don't need to pay a 'per month' fee in order to use one step
update in Quicken. Unless you mean your bank charges you to access the data
via a software package? (Nasty, that. But BoA is not very generous regarding
its services, from what I've seen since my CCard was switched over).

According to the release notes, 2007 didn't take any functionality away,
simply added a new option for Express Web Connect. If BoA doesn't support
webconnect (because they want to charge you a fee!) Quicken should still
open the bank web site.

"Quicken attempts the best connection experience first. This means a
customer that enters a customer ID and password to set up a new account will
get the following connection methods in the following order:

Direct Connect: If an error occurs (e.g. authentication), then Quicken
automatically attempts Express Web Connect.

Express Web Connect: If an error occurs, then Quicken automatically attempts
traditional Web Connect.
Traditional Web Connect: Quicken opens the online banking Web site"
Try disabling online access for your BoA account. Back out of Quicken.
Restart, and tell Quicken to enable for online access. Post back if you
still have problems.
