Been there, done that. OFXAnalyzer is what I meant by "the Microsoft OFX checking tool". As I said, it all "looks" fine, and M2006 doesn't complain, but M2007 does (according to my users)... Has the OFX handling been rewritten by any chance? Not everyone is seeing this problem, so it *might* be build-dependent or a result of a problem with some system component. I'm trying to set up a reliable testbed but right now I don't get the problem. But I have had several people contact me with exactly the same symptoms.

| Are M2007/8 fussier about OFX? As the author of MT2OFX I have been getting a lot of reports lately that the OFX files it produces are being rejected by M2007 and M2008 aka Plus, even though to my "semi-trained" eye they are compliant with both the spirit and the letter of the OFX standards and are certainly passed without complaint by the Microsoft OFX checking tool. The same files are accepted without question by M2006 or earlier. The message we see is: "The file you attempted to import appears to be invalid or contains corrupt data. Please download the file again. If this problem continues, contact your financial institution" Does anyone have any idea what additional checks are being made in the recent Money versions which my files might be falling foul of? Would any of the MVPs be able to offer any advice? Colin -- Remove REMOVE from email address to reach me! |
