For me it's considerably less than 2-3 minutes but probably longer than 15 seconds. However, my banks and credit cards all have switched to using only web connect anyway, going directly from Quicken is no longer an option and hasn't been for several years for all but one, and that one's been at least one year. They claim it's somehow for security reasons. The point is that web connect seems to be the favored method anyway and will possibly become the only one before long. Quicken 2006-2007 should not stop working. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

If you want more investment support and check printing, I hear MoneyDance is a good bet. -- Scotto |
