Is Quicken for Mac 2007 (QM2007) Compatible with Mojave (macOS 10.14)?

It seems Apple has announced today @WWDCthat macOS 10.14 (Mojave) will definitely be the last version to support 32-bit applications.
https://www.macrumors.com/2018/06/05/mojave-last-macos-release-to-support-32-bit-apps/
This suggests that QM2007 might still run on macOS 10.14, at least theoretically. Time will tell once it is released in final form.

1) Downloaded today's security quotes. A popup appeared saying the prices could not be saved. Quit the program, re-opened, and today's quotes had indeed disappeared. Repeated the process several times to verify. All past quotes and transaction history are intact.
2) Tried entering new transactions in different account registers. A similar popup saying the transaction could not be saved appeared. However, upon quitting and reopening the program, the new transactions were retained.
Obviously this is just a Beta release, and we'll have to hope future updates may correct these issues.

It is my understanding that Mojave 10.14 will automatically convert all HFS+ drives to AFPS, so it may not be possible to run Quicken 2007 on an HFS+ drive in Mojave. I can't verify this.
If someone has success in doing this, I would be interested in knowing how they accomplished installing Mojave on an HFS+ partition.
Nonetheless, those sticking with Quicken 2007 for a bit longer might be wise to update their Mac to the latest version of High Sierra by August, and then skip upgrading to Mojave and beyond. Meanwhile, hopefully, the next year or so will bring enough enhancements to the modern Quicken to allow most of us to finally let go of Quicken 2007. (One can hope, can't one?)

One question, in terms of Quicken 2007, is whether Mojave still supports creating HFS+ external drives and or HFS+ partitions on an APFS-formatted drive. And another is whether anything other than automatic backups is affected by being on an HFS+ drive versus an APFS drive. (That is, there may be other issues with Quicken 2007 on Mojave that are not related to the drive's format.)

If you don't have backups, and you're using an early beta of a new operating system, which always has problem of some sort, then you really pushed your luck -- maybe too far.
Hopefully you have a backup copy of your data file from before this Mojave test, as well as a backup of the Quicken program. Make a copies of them and put them on your laptop, and the Quicken 2007 application and your pre-Mojave data file should work fine there.

What is not clear to me is if there is any way to run the Mojave installer without it converting the drive to APFS. When I installed the Mojave Beta, it was on an external drive already formatted as APFS. I do not have a spare drive to test with.

There are ways to get there, however, depending on how much work you want to do. There's a command line method of starting the Mojave installer with a command to not format the drive to AFPS. You could also install Mojave on an external drive, which won't be converted, and then use disk cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to copy your external hard drive to your internal hard drive.
Here's a good article on the options. It was written for High Sierra, but it's likely Mojave behaves similarly.
Thanks for the link to the article. The part about external and/or HDD's not being automatically converted makes it possible to use that trick to avoid conversion to APFS. I was under the impression that this would become the default for ALL drives, now that Fusion drives are supported. So I am looking for confirmation...
So now the question is does the Mojave installer NOT automatically convert HDD's and/or external drives to APFS?

Hope this helps.
Are all your external drives HDD or are any SSDs?
Also, how does Mojave installation handle an upgrade for an HDD with macOS, either internal or external?
