Cannot Import OFX into existing account - says 'Download Unavailable !'

Hi, I'm working on a UK account (they no longer have download connections due to the Open Banking initiative).. the account is not online and yet I cannot import an OFX file - I get the message to say that 'Download Unavailable! - Quicken is unable to update this account because Web Connect support for your financial...' - How do I tell Quicken that I really really don't want it to try to connect to the web ?!

"No longer download connections" ALSO means, no importing of transactions ... as Q "calls home" before each import to verify that the Q product is still supported AND that the file was created by a "Participating Financial Institution" ... of which there are none in the UK.

Depending upon which Q product year you have, you MIGHT be able to import a QIF file ...  if your bank produces such.
