I think this is a similar but seperate problem from the above.
My Savings account populates the proper account in MS Money 2005.
My Checking account, however only makes a new copy of the account and
does not populate my established MS Money account called "new
checking" how can I force this account to populate the established
file?

Thanks!!

What you want to do depends on the type of downloads you are doing.

Direct OFX downloads come from servers that the financial
institution (FI) provides. It is a well defined protocol. The FI
is providing the data and is trying to be helpful. This would be
the best. In some cases you need to have the FI support people set
up your account for this access, and you may have a different ID and
password for the OFX access. In other cases the login ID and
password are the same as for accessing the FI's web site. It is
identifiable in http://www.microsoft.com/money/bankonline.aspx by
the presence of the word "Direct" without the term "third party".


With Web access you download an OFX or QIF file from the FI's web
server. You may do that with the browser within Microsoft Money,
or you may use a separate browser. The file may be passed directly
to Money by Windows, or your can save the file to disk and
File-> Import within Money.


Third Party download looks at the FI's website and gets the data
from the web pages. It feeds the data to MSN Money (MoneyCentral)
and Microsoft Money gets the data from there. The bank is not
necessarily even aware of this, and is usually not helpful if things
are not working right. This kind of access is trickier to
troubleshoot, and beyond checking for more info in the If any of
your FIs are set up to use this
method, you will need a LiveID/Passport on your file.

Which applies to your bank?

Just recently whenever I have downaload statement information from my bank it
now puts all three account statements into one of the accounts only. Prior to
this the download process would identify properly what transaction should go
to what account and do it correctly. I've read many of the knoledge base
articles as well as the forum threads about similiar problems but have not
yet been able to correct the problem. Any suggestions.
One bank with 3 seperate accounts.
Banks web site shows transactations occuring in proper accounts.
When Money downloads the tranactations in now places them all in one
account. For the last couple of years downloading has worked with now
problems.
Bank says it's a Money problem not theirs.
