Go look at the Folder Options|File Types Open method for OFX files. You
probably want to clear that out.

Wasn't reinstalling WinME more trouble than that OS was EVER worth?

I had to reinstall my entire operating system (Windows ME). The whole
thing was so badly corrupted by those two Critical Updates that it was
just non-usable.

MS Money 2006 now automatically launches when I download an OFX from
the bank.

Thanks for all your help.

If the link at your bank's end is the OFX file itself, you might be
able to hold down the Shift key while clicking the file, to cause
the file to download rather than launch.

In going over the associations for the OFX type, here is what I
would do.

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. I think you should have 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 2004\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.

Application should be mnyimprt with the appropriate path.
The easy way to fix this may be to reinstall Money.

That would be nice.

That last one does not seem like a good idea to me.

Well this is only way I have done this and it worked great each time. I
download the OFX file to a folder called MoneyImport then import the file
into Money using Money's import function while in Money. I have never
downloaded the file, then double clicked the import file hoping it would
launch money and import. I'm not saying this is not possible, it might be
possible, but I just wouldn't do it this way.

I installed Money 2006 Deluxe (upgraded from 2000) about a month ago.
It's been working fine.

I have to manually download the transactions from my bank because they
haven't moved to the 21st century yet. Used to be, I would download in
OFX format and the computer would ask me if I wanted to launch Money.
I no longer get that prompt since installing two M$ critical updates.

Since installing two critical updates on my computer (Windows ME) which
have crapped my computer beyond all belief, I have not been able to get
the downloads from the bank.

I have finally gotten the TMP files to go into c:\windows\temp. Can't
get it to go any further than that though.

If I understand correctly the whole functionality of this thing, the
bank is supposed to download to TMP file which converts to OFX and then
gets imported into Money -- right??

Anybody got any idea what's wrong?? Thanks.

PS: I've looked back in the Google history and have tried just about
everything that was suggested. (I really wish people would go back and
post a *SOLUTION* when they get a problem solved.) I've added various
Microsoft sites to trusted sites. I've removed and added back the OFX
extension. Tried changing TMP extension to point to mnyimprt.exe.
