Well my case with Microsoft about this issue hasn't gone anywhere. And I've
already contacted Fidelity. If I see anything is the logs I'll post it.
Here is Microsoft's reply....

"Unfortunately the data that is coming in to the Money program is being
provided by Fidelity. If all the information is not coming in you can try
contacting them. The other option is to follow the steps in the article below:

The funds are Fidelity funds ? or doesn't matter ? On my non-Fidelity
funds it takes 3 days to settle / download the info - even for reinv
div's. ( That's what I meant by brokerage. I've got a few of third
party funds and it takes a few days.) I have M2006 and don't download
statements everyday - just ' update prices' so maybe why I don't see
your problem.

My last suggestion - to know that it's not your file... ( To be sure
that the " enter transactions in register" field is 'really working' )
.... In Tools- settings - Online service settings, maybe note your
current settings, turn them all off, exit money ( to write those changes
to online settings), Reopen Money, change back/ exit. Reopen. Update.

Good luck.

Yes.

I always do a Update Now account download. Almost never a Update Prices.

I haven't had any brokerage trades in a long time. In my case, the missing

My Money account for Fidelilty was created in 1998 using whatever version of
Money was current then. It's been Update Now ever since then.

I didn't see anything there that would explain intermittent missing

I think it is more the case that Fidelity messed up the downloads to
Money 2004 only, and don't feel like fixing it. Same thing in effect
tho. They started sending an OFX 2 header but an OFX 1 body on the
downloads to Money 2004. Since Money 2004 itself will be expiring
for downloads, they might be less inclined to fix it than they would
have been. Interestingly, Money 2000 still works fine for the
Fidelity downloads.

I have M2006 and M2004 - 2004 just expired and M2006 still live.
Both worked fine with Fidelity.I seem to be the exception though, huh ?
Do you download your account data every day ?
How about if no activity in your account, for a few days, you just "
Update prices" rather than 'download statement'?
Brokerage trades take 3 days to settle, so I'm surprised that it
"noticed" share difference next day and tried to 'remove shares'.

DID you create a new (empty) account and download last 90 days into that
as suggested earlier ? Last 90 days come down OK, or still issues after
that ?

It is not an issue that Money support will be able to fix.

I looked into this a few years ago, and I don't believe the problem has
changed.

The issue has to do with the "system" (Money and Fidelity and OFX) trying to
prevent double downloading. So there is a time hack stored that indicates when
you last downloaded. Subsequent downloads will only pick up data after that
time.

The problem is that Fidelity stores transactions, in your history, that are
there, but not yet "confirmed" or "officially posted" or something like that
until about 3AM. For example, a stock split that took place today will appear
in your history today, but it'll be flagged as being in flux.

If you download when it is in flux, that transaction will not be downloaded,
but your "last time downloaded" will be updated.

When the transaction, on the Fido web site, is no longer in flux, it won't be
downloaded because it will have a time that is prior to your last time
downloaded.

One work around is to not download when you might have transactions in this
"other world" state. I have found that downloading between 3AM-7AM Eastern
time seems to avoid the problem. Although I've still had the rare missed
transaction -- I haven't had the opportunity to ensure it still fits this
pattern.

This issue was discussed with Fido, by me, about four or five years ago. They
said they would "look into it" :-(

The theory is that they might be in a state of flux around those
times. I don't have a firm knowledge that avoiding those times will
help, I suspect it might. Keep an eye out.

Thanks for the input. Are you saying that I should avoid downloads from
midnight eastern and for few hours afterwards? (I already do this.) You
have peaked my curiosity. How does this technique help?

You might try avoiding doing your updating from midnight eastern
time for the next couple hours.

I also would suggest that you not have Money do the AddShares or
RemoveShares. That way you would avoid duplicates, plus it would
point out later that you need to check the history to resolve the
discrepancy.

I have opened up a case with Microsoft support regarding this issues. We'll
see if something positive happens.

I frequently get missing transactions as well. Missing dividends, short and
long term capital gains distributions. Money detects the missing shares and
then does an Add Shares to make up the difference.

I have to go to the Fidelity history, manually enter the missing
transactions to the Money register, and then delete the no longer needed Add
Shares.

Not always, just sometimes.

Very irritating.

Bruce.

You could try a new account or the sample account with only the Fidelity
account to see if the problem goes away following when you are not using
your account. I occasionally will miss a download, normally a re-invested
dividend but I would not say that I consistently have a problem. Since it
is consistent it should be easy to try a clean account just to see if the
problem remains.

I am having the exact same problems with Money 2007 and Fidelity. My
brokerage accounts never consistently download transactions. I do
consistently get the correct account balances downloaded. It is quite
frustrating. I always have to login to their website to find my transactions
and enter them manually.

I called Fidelity "Electronic Support" just now and they attributed my
problem to a "database corruption" problem in my Money file. Whatever. By
his own admission he said that they are only trained to help users with
initial setup.

Is there anyway we can wake somebody up who can fix this issue? Should I
try Money support?

Funny, good response.

That does seem odd. At the beginning of the year I did many buys and sells --
downloaded the next day and the transactions came through OK.

Have you called Fido's tech support?
