That corrected my problem. Thanks for the help!

You might try deleting the statement (right-click "transactions to
read") and re-download.

I tried all these suggestions and none worked. I'm using OFX for my downloads.

In Internet Explorer delete your browser temporary files with
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DeleteFiles.

Then in Money do File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair again.


Still not fixed? Got to Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServiceSetting and
select ShowStandardizedPayeeNamesForWhichANameIsNotFound. This
appears to be a global (inter-file) setting.

Download again. Let us know at what stage this process worked , if
any, and whether you were doing QIF, OFX, or whatever downloads.

This started happening to me in Money 2005 about a week ago. I've been using
this version for over a year and never had this problem. I've tried showing
"unaccepted transactions", "all transactions" and the transactions never show
up even though MS Money shows I have items to review. I also tried "Accept
All Transactions" and "Accept All Unmatched Transactions" and it doesn't fix
the problem. I also tried downloading the transactions directly from my
credit card website instead of allowing them to download though MS Money and
there's no difference. Help!

While this might seem obvious, did you select "Show Unaccepted Transactions"
in the filter above the register? It may be (if this was the first
download) that it downloaded OLD transactions (ones that have already been
reconciled).

In 2006, the transactions do not appear until they are processed in the
background after a download. This can cause problems if thinking a download
was complete, you immediately go to a register - the new transactions won't
be there but the counts will indicate new transactions. I usually keep a
handle on it by watching CPU activity (task manager or process explorer or
equivalent) after a download. When everything is quiet, I then go into
individual registers. I'm thinking that for some, the background process
is never completing, but that's just a guess on my part.

That is exactly what I am saying. I was importing these files since
about 1999, first in Quicken and then in MS 2004. It was not until Money
2006 that the transactions failed to appear. I do now believe that in
Money 2004, it had a different problem - transactions that had the <brin them were the only ones that did not appear.

Maybe I missed this: you are saying that the stuff in the data that is
gagging Money 06 is known to have been there (in particular transactions)
for the entire time you have been downloading in previous versions?

I agree they shouldn't generally go into working code for an interface like
this and change it unless they know in great detail what they are doing and
why they are doing it and what the implications of doing it are. That having
been said, there's certainly lots of code that is broken--or at least
malignant--that they don't seem to be going back into. Why they would pick
on this is a mystery.

True, the banks are going to do as little as possible, but MS or Intuit
should not come along and break what has been working. I have been
importing these files for years and it was not until Money 2006 that I
ever had any problems.

Usually MS is pretty good about backward compatibility. If they want to
do something different, do like Intuit and just don't support it
anymore. Then at least we would know before we bought the product what
was not going to work...

True enough. That's just another example of why it's a miracle this stuff
works at all for anyone. So it's best just to do whatever trips your trigger
and then tell the customers what a great favor you've done for them and skip
worrying about whether any of this stuff works?

I don't think you are going to be able to point to a QIF standard.

So the bank has had a decade to get this right and they still don't care
enough to do so?

I understand the point you are making, but in this case I can't get there.
The banks, at this late date it's still only some of them anyway, did Just
Enough to be able to advertise that they have these interfaces. From what I
see from a decade of watching this from the manual data entry sidelines, not
a one of them has ever much cared if they worked. Woe is Microsoft for
promising something they don't control enough of to deliver. Woe are the FIs
for offering an interface that they neither know nor care works. Woe is the
user for expecting Santa Claus to pop out in the fireplace any minute now
when it's been obvious for almost a decade that the banks weren't going to
got to very much trouble to make these interfaces work well.

As a programmer, life is filled with different interpretations of
"standards". MS is not blameless in this area. Also, QIF was around
before XML or XML implementations of MS money (i.e. QIF = 1994/95).

That is the difference between being right and being useful. There is a
lot of software that is syntactically correct that no one uses...

Then Microsoft needs to fix the problem or charges from places like

CRATE & BARRELL, BARNES & NOBLE, etc. will cause problems.

'&' may create problems if they are immediately followed by another
character making the XML parser think it has come across a reference.


Actually, the only one that caused problems was the <br> I found in my
credit vouchers which made them look like

PCREDIT VOUCHER<br> WAL-MART

You did not say which was indicating transactions to review.

Somebody today posted that this symptom occurred when he had a QIF
file with '<' and '> ' characters. You might check for that. I tried
to replicate it in a test file, but was unable to. However If you
find either or both of those characters, change them to something
else. You can delete the existing statement by right-clicking where
it says you have transactions to review, and re-import the modified
QIF. Let us know what you learn.

Citibank (the bank) offers OFX download from their website. It is
not as automated as using the download via a third party, but it is
reliable.
