[cw-discuss] Please fix Quicken 2007 on CXO 6.0

[Andrew Bogott]

I have one last (possibly helpful) thought about this.

Quicken 2006 works quite well with CrossOver 6 and is in most cases 
still compatible with the majority of banking systems.  I believe that 
the compatibility break for banks was between 2004 and 2005, so most 
likely version 2006 (or, for that matter, 2005) will work quite well for 
some time in the future.  I use 2005, myself, and it interoperates just 
fine with one of my banks (although, perversely, my other bank requires 
that I run Quicken versions of 2004 or earlier, so I enter that data by 
hand :( )

Older versions of Quicken are still available, and tend to be 
inexpensive.  An Amazon search such as this one turns up lots of 
$25-or-so copies:

Also, old versions are often on the selves at Half-Priced Books or 
similar stores.

That's probably your best bet!
