Just an update on the statement download problem.
I just downloaded my Sept. statement again and all transactions were listed
"this time".
So it seems that the problem was with the bank all the time.
Thanks for your help!

Cal,

They only allow a monthly statement to be downloaded. Daily transactions are
not available for download. That is why I tried M07-CashEdge for a couple
of weeks, but I was disappointed in that result. Some transactions did come
down and some didn't. I would just as soon enter each transaction daily,
then download the Monthly statement.

The QFX statement did contain the transactions, but included an erroneous
transaction number 49 times, (one for each transaction) that I had to
manually remove.

I now suspect it is a problem with MBNA. If it is not working soon I will
contact them.

Thanks for your help!

That certainly explains the symptom.

Unless the QIF file transactions were all from this month, I doubt
it.

Since you did not get the transactions from those OFX files even
once, I don't think that the fact that this is a subsequent download
could be the problem. That would be an unusual way for them to
handle it, but the fact is that you did not get the transactions
downloaded even when you first downloaded the OFX and fed it
directly to Money.

Could it be that they have more than one link to download from, and
you picked the "balance" vs the transactions download? Is it
possible there is a date range that you have to specify? From your
description, I would guess that they have a method that implies the
range to be a specified month.

You should probably be able to download the Quicken (QFX file)
statement, if they offer that, and then File-> Import. The OFX file
should be including your transactions, so workarounds should be
unneeded.

It is possible that the bank customer support could help in the case
of the OFX download.

Cal,
I saved the OFX file to disk and opened it in a text editor. Below is what
the file contains. It doesn't seem to contain the 49 transactions that the
..QIF file contained. I also went back to last months OFX file and downloaded
it and it did not contain any transatctions either.
Does this mean that once the file has been downloaded that in subsequent
downloads that the transaction info has been removed? Maybe next month's
download will contain transaction info?

Select OFX-- Open Financial Exchange File .


Click Advanced. Check Confirm Open After Download to give you pop-up
box that includes an option to save to disk.

I tried to save the download to disk, but when I right-clicked the download
link, there was no option to save it to disk. It just would automatically be
sent to the MBNA credit card account, then I would receive the message that
said "Import Complete".

I had never had a problem with MBNA monthly statement downloads until this
month. This is after trying the M07-CashEdge stuff for a few days, then
going back to downloading as I always have.

FYI, I have no problem downloading my monthly statement from my 2 MBNA
accounts into Money 2006. It comes in as a OFX file and is automatically
imported into Money.

I am assuming this is an OFX file, and that after importing, the
AccountList does not show TransactionsToRead for the MBNA account.

You might try saving the OFX file to disk and examining it with a
text editor such as Notepad. Check to see that there are indeed
transactions there that you had not previously downloaded. Also make
sure that there is no "&" that is not part of "&AMP;". Actually I
would not expect that & to be the problem given the symptoms.

Here is a transaction that you might find in a checking account:

==========================
<STMTTRN<TRNTYPE> DEBIT
<DTPOSTED> 20060720210000
<TRNAMT> -12.10
<FITID> 200607200001
<CHECKNUM> 03106
<NAME> Ajax Popcorn Company
</STMTTRN=====================================

That DTPOSTED is July 20, 2006 at 21:00 (9PM)

If you have trouble saving the file to disk, check back.

Money 2007.
After trying out the CashEdge downloads from MBNA and not being satisfied
with that type of online downloads I stopped using the automatic account
updates. I would rather just update my accounts when I feel like it.
Now, after downloading my monthly statement from MBNA, I get the
confirmation that the import was complete. However I see nothing that has
been downloaded. This is using the Active Statement for M99 and later, as I
used to use before letting Money07 and CashEdge do this for me.
I went back to MBNA and downloaded a QIF and it was imported into my file.
But it insisted on adding a long digit into the Number Column, which I had
to go back and delete, (49) transactions.
I have already done the "delete temporary internet files" and did the Quick
file repair, but still I cannot get the Active Statement for Money to show
up.
Hope someone can help! Thanks
John
