Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

Select OFX-- Open Financial Exchange File .

Click Advanced. Check Confirm Open After Download unless
you would not like the pop-up box.

See that the "Actions" box contains "Open" in bold. If it is not
bold, you can select Open as the default action by clicking the
Set Default button.

Click Edit.

When you click edit, the application used to perform action
should be similar to the following line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\System\mnyimprt.exe" %1
WITH the quotes, and the %1 after the quote. The path will
differ based on your installation. Modify for your setup.

It actually was already unchecked. I checked it, restarted IE, then tried
it again and when that didn't work unchecked it again but still no luck.
Any other ideas? I really appreciate all your help,

Well, well, well,

I have not been able to download statements from one of my banks for over 8
months..........until I saw this post. Very interesting why this works but
it does. Now it just imports automatically. It used to download a OFX file
but even that stopped working over 8 months ago.

Now everything is fine. Thanks for the tip!!!

In IE6, uncheck
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DoNotSaveEncryptedPagesToDisk.

If that is not sufficient, check back.

Hi-
My Credit Union provides downloadable statement files to import into Money
instead of the background banking. While it was a pain to always have to go
to the website to get the data I managed. It used to be that when I
selected the dates and clicked on download Money 2005 would automatically
"take control" of the file and import it automatically. It would then ask
me if I wanted to open money to view the statements or it would be there the
next time I did. Now I have Money 2006 and when I do the same thing the
only options I get are to either Save the File or Cancel (though I do have
open if I use FireFox). The file extension is .ofx and I tried configuring
windows to open those files with Money but it just thinks it is a *.mny file
and won't do anything with it. It is a pain to have to import all the files
everytime. Does anyone know a way to revert back to the way it was or what
might have caused this change? Thanks in advance!
-Dan
