For tax purposes, the share price is irrelevant: amount invested (to
determine basis) and number of shares (to deal with sales, splits, etc.)
matter more. Let Money calculate the price and ignore what Vanguard reports.

You could try setting up a new XP user with administrative access.
As that user, set up a new Money file with no Passport (Decline).
See if you can set that up for Vanguard direct access.

If that works, then you can try different settings on your IE6
normal user.

Wow, I can download OFX but can't get Money 2005 to sync automatically,
which is what I want it to do...

I don't think Vanguard tracks holdings to anything smaller than .001
share.

I agree with you, but according to Vanguard, I paid 108.78 per share.
Furthermore, if you divide $100 by yesterdays close price of 108.78, you find
that I actually bought .919287 shares. The problem is which data point do
you pick for the calculation, share price or share amount. Money is using the
share amount reported by Vanguard (incorrectly as .919) and then getting the
wrong share price.

If you bought 0.919 shares for $100, you paid 108.813928 per share.

I just installed 2005. I was unable to download the ofx file from Vanguard's
site into Money, but I was able to give Money my login info and have it
connect to Vanguard and pull the data in automatically by just hitting the
update button. One small annoyance is that the share purchase price reported
by Money after updating is slightly different than the share price shown on
Vanguard's site. For example, I have Vanguard automatically take $100 from
my checking account twice a month and purchase shares of the 500 index fund.
Vanguard reported last night that I bought .919 shares at $108.78
(yesterday's closing price). But Money says I bought the share at $108.814.
You see Money is taking the purchase price of $100 and dividing by the share
amount reported by Vanguard (.919) and getting $108.814. Not a huge
difference, but annoying.

If you go to
https://vesnc.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw...ConnectServlet in IE6,
do you get "Your account information is temporarily unavailable."
etc?

There should not be a problem with the certificate.

The purpose of this is to see if there might be a routing, DNS,
certificate, etc problem, and is not anything like a complete test.
If you don't get the expected message, that could be telling tho.

The new version has corrected a lot of the problems I was having, however,
it didn't fix them all.

One main issue I'm still having is that I can not sync automatically with
Vanguard.

I proceed through account setup, but it fails.

I have deleted my Vanguard account from Money and re-added it from scratch
to no avail.

The Call Summary Message I get is:

Microsoft Money could not receive information from your bank or brokerage.
Please set up this account again (which I've done over and over. Money was
unable to complete the operation. The internet, banking, or brokerage
server you were trying to contact encountered an error. Please try your
call again later. (OFXHTTP500)).

I know some other folks were having a similar issue. I can log into
Vanguard manually just fine.

Thanks in advance for any help!
