The institution marks the download file timezone as earlier than your timezone. Money calculates that midnight at the FIs timezone corresponds to 23:00 the day before in your timezone. It's a sad situation. This can also happens when the institution is in the same timezone, but leaves the time zone info indicating they are using standard time even tho the time has changed to daylight saving time. The best outcome would be for the FI to timestamp the times to a time during working hours. Alternatively they could leave the timezone info out of the file, and Money would assume that the times are in your timezone. The OFX specifications address this issue, and tells how the institution should avoid the problem. It would be really nice if Microsoft Money would not change the date on you. While this would be a literal divergence from the OFX specifications, it seems unlikely to hurt anybody, and it would help many. OK, I guess it might hurt people near the international date line. A workaround that *you* can implement is to change your timezone to eastern or GMT before processing the OFX downloads. Then change it back afterwards. |

| I hope someone can help, I've searched online and cannot find anything. Since the daylight savings time change, the transactions are downloaded as a day earlier. For example, in my online banking the date says 4/2, but when it downloads, it shows 4/1, in which I have to manually change so it can match my acct. The dates are correct in my online banking acct. I'm using Money 2006 deluxe. Please help! |
