Default Import file from BofA is corrupt ?


I called and got a totally different answer! I was given
the email address of a developer, who took my emailed
file and fixed it. After compairing the two it looks like
he removed 7 lines of info from the bottom of the import
file. So since then I have been doing it manually and it
has worked for me every time. They told me that it was
going to be fixed in the next couple days. However its
been a week and the problem persists. The lines he
removed are from the very end of the file (but leave the
very last line "</OFX> " there):

</BANKTRANLIST<LEDGERBAL<BALAMT> 3320.31
<DTASOF> 20030820120000
</LEDGERBAL</STMTRS</STMTTRNRS</BANKMSGSRSV1
It seems as if this info was repeated twice in the
stmt.ofx file (you will see the exact same data above it)

To perform this fix, instead of choosing "Open" when you
download the file choose save, then open it with Notepad
(this will keep it from getting formatted imporperly),
then remove the last occurance of the above lines, then
save it over the original file and double click it and
all should be great. If you aren't a do it yourself kinda
person try calling the online help of bofa, and tell them
you know there was an issue and that you have been told
it would be fixed soon, and that you should be able to
email and engineer to fix your files as necessary.

Default Re: Import file from BofA is corrupt ?

Money is not going to download more statement than your bank is providing
for download. I'm not sure what kind of statement downloads B of A offers,
but some provide you an option to choose a date range. If you are able to
successfully import a statement, nothing inside of Money (or reinstalling,
etc.) is going to change your results.

What kind of file was the orginal one that was giving you the corrupt error?
If you can save the file and view in notepad, you may be able to find the
problem. Or you could change the account number information (and anything
else you wouldn't want us to see) and post part of the file here and we'll
see if we can find a problem. At least then you can go back to them and
tell them that if you change a certain part of the file, it imports fine.

Default Import file from BofA is corrupt ?

Hi all...

I used to d/l my transactions from BofA using the money option. Las week I
started to get an error that the file was corrupt. I called BofA and they
told me that they did nothing (yet their web site looks different). They
told me to try the 4 digit something option. It worked but I got the
complete statement. I don't want to get the whole thing everytime and I
don't want to write down the date to get a partial statement next time. I
tried to reinstall money but no luck. Is the problem with my puter or their
system ? This is so much fun . BofA blames my Money (2003) and Money blames
them ... fun, fun, fun !

Thanks
