I can't be of much help on the strictly Money stuff, but I have
a couple of comments.

First, I am almost certain that the QIF file format itself has
not changed, and probably will not ever change.

Second, I see nothing out of the ordinary about the data in the
QIF file that I download from Paypal, and Cal Learner confirms
no problem importing a Paypal QIF file into Money.

Possibly your original post was unintentionally misleading, or
just wrong (in which case supplying further info on what you
experienced that caused you to think you could no longer use
Paypal QIF files might allow others to help you to continue to
use downloaded QIF files).

Third, in the event you are, for some reason, unable to use QIF
files downloaded directly from Paypal, there is a free Excel
macro that will convert Excel files to QIF files. You could
import comma delimited or tab delimited (or any delimited) files
into Excel (so it would not matter which of the non-QIF formats
you chose at Paypal), apply the macro, and output a valid QIF
file. The macro is named xl2qif and can be found at

I was thinking you used to be able to download qif, but could no
longer find where to do that on the Paypal site.

I have no problem reading the Paypal QIF into Money, so sorry for
responding.

I appreciate folks taking time out to read the question and answer
them, but PLEASE read the question carefully before responding. If I
was just looking for where to download the history, I would not have
bothered posting the original question.

Under download history, there are only 5 options for the format of the
download. As you can see, there is no option to download to Money.
There is an option to download to Quicken, which I used to be able to
do, then import the QIF file into Money. Now, I am not sure which one
to use. For the fear of messing my account ledgers, I can't decide
between tab or comma delimited formate.

In Paypal, click History-> DownloadMyHistory.

For reason unknown there is not even an option to download activities
to Money from Paypal. I used to be able to download the Quicket QIF
file and import that, but they changed that format, so it would not
work with my Money 2004 Deluxe. Can anybody suggest a way to deal with
the issue?
