I hope it works for you when you do your new download. Let us know.
I had a problem with it when I tested for it earlier.

That is not a problem with OFX direct statement institutions, but
for Yodlee-accessed institutions I don't know how that will be
addressed.

Additionally, I have tried the sort by check number and this rectifies the
checks not being in order, but the dates are all screwed up then. The fix
you provided should actually take care of several problems I was having
however so we'll see about that.

Cal Learner, Thank you. That fix was actually fast and very helpful. Now I
am a little impressed. Any help with the multiple instances of the same
payments needing to be accepted repeatedly?? How about the ability to
reconcile to online balances??

You could sort by check number.

You could also clear
Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServices-> OverwriteTransactionDatesWithDatesFromDownloadedTr ansactions

I don't know if the new QFE made that setting work.

Default Reconcile Madness

I am still unable to "set up online" with E-Trade Bank. I understood this
issue was supposed to be corrected with the new patch. It isn't.

Who desinged the register "match"? Obviously wasn't an accountant. When I
enter checks manually into my register and then update the account online,
the only option to "match" my entered transaction with the bank's downloaded
transaction, leaves me with a corrected date in the register which is the
date the bank received the check, not the day I wrote the check. This leaves
my checks out of order and when I search for a check thru the register it is
very disorganized because of the checks being out of date. When I change the
new "matched" transaction date back to the date the check was written, so
that my register dates and the check number go in numeric order, the next
update goes thru the same thing. Very annoying. Any fix to this??

Is there any hope for a reconcile which will reconcile to the online balance
instead of the monthly statement? This is extremely confusing having been
used to Quicken's system they have had for years now which can reconcile the
online balance to the currently downloaded account.

Multiple transactions??? Netbank, Presidential bank, and others!!! I am
growing weary of "accepting transactions which have been previously accepted;
or so I thought.

This is my first go-round with Money. I was a very happy Quicken user until
the new version is now charging banks for access to their software, so some
banks are refusing to pay this and the software won't allow downloads. I
will continue muddling along until I grow weary, or hopefully some things are
fixed.

Thank you for your time. Jaime
