This is not something that I would have envisioned-- having both
descriptions in that OFX.

Yet it may be the case. Some funds have different versions. Are
there separate <SECINFO> ... </SECINFO> sections for each "version"?
If so, they would indeed be separate securities -- one with a
<TICKER> FSEMX, and one not. Actually, I would have expected
<TICKER> FSEMX</TICKER> , in an OFX 2 file (where the file starts with
" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> " ).

So I would guess that one is an internal one special for some
reason, and one is a public one with a ticker and a public price. Is
there no hint of this difference on your paper statement? Is one in
a 401K and the other not, or some such thing? I think I would ask
Fidelity if both are the *same*.

Well now, the plot thickens. I was able to delete the investment (at least
it appeared to), but I still
get the other investment back. So I looked at the downloaded transactions
and I see:

<SECNAME> SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX</SECNAME<FIID> 0398</FIID<UNITPRICE> 30.67</UNITPRICE<DTASOF> 20050323070000.000[-5:EST]

in one, and:

<SECNAME> SPARTAN EXTENDED MARKET INDEX
<TICKER> FSEMX
<UNITPRICE> 30.9300000
<DTASOF> 20050323070000.000[-5:EST]


in the other. The difference in price seems to be difference between
yesterday's price and today's. It would seem that Fidelity has given two
different names to the same mutual fund and Money '04 is confused by this.
Is that possible?

Thanks

In the investment details, remove the existing symbol, if any, for
"SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX".

Make a large dummy AddShares of the "SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX"
fund, dated before all other transactions, into the account
register. Go back to investment "SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX" and choose
View: Investment Details. Change each transaction to "SPARTAN
EXTENDED MARKET INDEX" using the drop-down list. Start with the
newest transaction. I would double-click the transaction to open
it for edit.

In any case, keep going until there are no more "SPTN EXTND MKT
INDEX" transactions remaining. At that point you can "delete"
"SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX".

Since you would like to see the OFX file, start a manually-triggered
download in Money 2004 as normal. But when you see the Connect
button, hold down the Ctrl+Shift keys as you click Connect. Money
will save a copy of the OFX file as *RS.txt in My Documents.

You can view the file with a text editor such as Notepad.
Depending on the provider of the OFX file, there may be a normal
newline character between items, or not. And if not, it is tricky
to view.

If the file starts with "?xml version" you could copy the file to
"test.xml" and open that with IE6. That would format things nicely.

How does the MS Money download match items to the investments in one's
account? I have two accounts at Fidelity, one a brokerage account, and the
other a 401k retirement (Netbenefits). Both happen to hold some of the same
mutual fund. One refers to it as "SPARTAN EXTENDED MARKET INDEX". I was
able to match this to the brokerage account. But the second account refers
to it as "SPTN EXTND MKT INDEX". MS Money 2004 wants to refer to this as a
different security and won't let me give it the same symbol. But of course
it is the same symbol with the same price history.

Is it possible to see the actual data Money is downloading? Where is it
stored? Is it in a readable form?

thanks
