    Hello @klacaze,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community to tell us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.

    Could you please provide which version of Quicken you have currently running?

    If you don't mind, I would just like to gain some clarification first in order to better assist you furher.

    After you successfully imported the .qfx file, did you also reactivate the account for automatic downloads using Express Web Connect?

    Also, could you please navigate to Edit > Preferences > Downloaded transactions and verify that the setting for Automatically add to banking registers is unchecked?



    Please, check back and let us know what you find.

    @Quicken_Tyka can you help me with my situation. i also no longer have the update list show me what was successful or not, i have no flags showing if something did not update, only no downloads in the register. this is happening with Citicards and Citibusiness. So whatever was done on Nov 19th by Quicken has screwed up the downloads. i also want to see the accept transactions box at the bottom of the register again! Where is that and how do we get it back?

    @Quicken_Tyka also, the "status" blue dot is NOT helpful when you have to go through each one to remove it. Please tell me this is NOT the replacement for the accept transactions window. I still have that window by the way, on other accounts so i don't understand this.

    @klacaze - I think the main issue you are having is not related to mine. To make it so downloaded transactions don't automatically get entered, on the menu at the top of the screen select "Edit" then "Preferences." On the pop up box that opens click on "Downloaded Transactions" in the left column. Then make sure the top two check boxes are NOT checked (Automatically add to banking registers and Automatically add to investment transaction lists.) Then click OK at the bottom.

    Hope this helps.

    PS - if you are using Express Web Connect for Citicards and CitiBusiness, I suggest you change them to Direct connect which is far more reliable.

    Also - the first time you make these changes Quicken may download transactions you already have in your register. You'll need to delete those duplicates instead of accepting them. But after the initial download things should work as expected.

    @klacaze - Glad it worked for you! I believe there was a time several years ago that Direct Connect was discontinued for Citicards but I have been using it for several years now so it must have been reinstated. I am not sure on CitiBusiness. Best way to find out is to edit the accounts and see if it asks you if you want to improve your connection. If so, you're in business!
