From what I can tell, the only thing that's different between OFX and
QFX is that Intuit has added a single tag: <INTU.BID> . This tag is
used to identify the financial institution that generated the QFX.
Quicken then connects to intuit and asks whether or not the FI is
licensed for that particular version of software. If not, Quicken
reports an error message.

In my experiments, I've been able to successfully import QFX files
into M04 Deluxe simply by renaming them to .OFX. In the worst case
scenario, you ought to be able to write a simple script that will
delete the <INTU.BID> tag and write the output into a .OFX file.

That's just the way TIAA-CREF does things (why I don't know),
it's not a property of QFX files, the same happens in Quicken.

I import QFX files from TIAA-CREF and find that the positions come in
correctly, as to the purchases and sales, but the TIAA interest
(/Dividends) do not show up. Instead I get notified that the balance
does not match. I have not used it from any other type of Financial
Institution.

I successfully imported a QFX file into Money2002; I do not
think there should be a problem, though the op should be able to
test this fairly easily.

A QFX file is OFX compliant; Intuit's small bit of "extra" data
should just be ignored by any application that does not use QFX.

I don't know, actually. The QFX is Quicken's modification of an OFX
file. Money 2004 accepts OFX files. Is the QFX file close enough? I
don't know.

If Money cannot make sense of it without you changing it, I would
expect an error message from Money.

You do File-> Import. You select AllFiles on the TypeOfFile box. You
browse to the file on your disk and select it. Click Import. At
that point, what happens?

Or if that does not describe what you are doing, what are you doing?

I'm currently using Money 2004 Standard. Can I import QFX files with this
version? I'm wondering, because when I try to import a QFX file nothing
happens. Below is the beginning part of the QFX file. Any help would be
great. Thanks.
