Don't hold your breath for that happening.

If you have missing transactions from that FI frequently, you might
consider trying your downloads at a time other than near midnight at
the institution. Many make changes around that time, and there could
be a window of time when things are in flux.

I accomplish the download from within Money vs. going to the FI and
initiating the dowlnload from there. It sounds like they need to adjust their
OFX implementation?

thanks!

OFX direct downloads, or what?

Let's assume so, for now.

When Money sends the request to the OFX server, it indicates that it
is not looking for statements that were *posted* before the
previously successful download date.

If you log the OFX file and look at the request, expect something
like this in the request:
<DTSTART> 20000320

Some providers ignore that field and send everything available.
There is a mechanism to ignore duplicates. But the DTSTART does not
refer to the date of the transaction themselves, but to their
availability to earlier downloads.

The tech was giving you speculation presented as fact.

Default some transactions not downloaded?

My apologies if this is already in play, but I couldn't find it.

When reconciling my recent credit card statement I found several
transactions that were on the statement, but had never dowloaded to Money
2007.

I queried the FI (1st Tech) and they said "Money will miss transactions that
are backdated to a date in the past after a recent download. For example if
you download today and tomorrow a transaction is posted with an effective
date earlier in the month, Money will not look backwards for the transaction.
These missed transactions can be manually entered and reconciled."

Is this a known Money issue? Is there an update or a work around?

Thanks,
