Thanks much for the info!

All these one-off workarounds to an integrated bank site / Quicken /MS Money solution is really making me impatient <g>!

I mean, I have cards issued by First USA, ATT, MBNA, etc. NONE of them are signed up with Quicken yet (although I'm sure that much is in the works), although American Express gets kudos for being up and running w/ Intuit for some time, now.

For those out there not using Quicken, in my ever-so-humble-opinion it's an absolutely indispensable tool for saving time and getting a handle on bills, investments, etc. They seem to have finally gotten the transaction download right, with one click for me to import Schwab, E-Trade, Citibank and American Express, followed by CKFR to handle the billpay.

One surprising flaw, though, is that I have to disconnect from the web and use a direct dial number (I believe it's through Compuserve) to transmit my payments to CF. I can't believe they don't have a methodology yet to transmit while still being on-line...(maybe this will happen following the Genesis transition).
