Updated to Q10 deluxe and all of my accounts are a manual QFX download. However, each time I import the QFX file, I get a quicken window "contacting the internet" for about a minute and sometimes this will download updated financial information, most times not. This use to only happen if I did a one step/online update. Tried to find a setting to change it back, nothing located. Can this behavior be changed somewhere? Thx
Q10 - Contacting the internet

Quicken has always "contacted the internet" when importing QFX files, and I can't see that changing unless Intuit decides to permit the "free" importing of OFX/QFX data.
I can't recall whether I ever saw any message from Quicken that it was making an internet connection during a QFX import, so perhaps Q2010 is displaying something that no previous version displayed: if so, I don't know of any way to stop that display. But the underlying process of Quicken checking - via the internet - to see that the financial institution is authorized to provide QFX data, was always happening.
[It's also possible that Intuit added the downloading of financial institution info during the processing of QFX files recently: if that information was only downloaded during One Step Updates, users who rarely, or never, used OSU, might have out of date info for their financial institutions.]
That's what I figured. Thanks
