I did some more checking, and I find I can reproduce the problem.
The problem, I think, is that the Vanguard OFX file lacks
<ACCTINFO> <INVACCTINFO> ... </INVACCTINFO> </ACCTINFO> tags -- and
maybe more. The OFX 2.0.1 spec says
================================================== =============
8.5 Account Information
....
For each account, there is one <ACCTINFO> aggregate returned. The
aggregate includes one servicespecific
account information aggregate for each service available to that
account. That, in turn, provides
the service-specific account identification. Common to each
service-specific account information
aggregate is the <SVCSTATUS> element, which indicates the status of
this service on this account.
------------------------and later - 13.6.2 Investment Account Information <INVACCTINFOThe <INVACCTINFO> aggregate should appear in the <ACCTINFOaggregate for accounts that support
investment statement download.
================================================== =============

So I think the problem is with the Vanguard OFX download.

That's a neat trick. I find it only works for OFX 2. OFX 1 is not
fully XML compliant.

Some other things you might want to try. Downloading for "Quicken"
from the Vanguard site used to give an OFX 1 file but with the
extension .qfx. Money could read it fine.

Also, the OFX specs are available from
http://www.ofx.net/ofx/default.asp

this is true. but, i still expect position confirmation
for all three accounts regardless of activity. and, i only
get it for the first one.

cool trick. it appears that the request and response both
contain all three accounts. another odd thing i notice
though is that there are two sets of request and response
file pairs for vanguard(4 total files). both pairs appear
to have the same content except for the transaction id
kinds of fields. i'm not sure why money is asking twice
for the same info.

- quote -


if i rename the response file .xml and pull it into IE
then its not too bad to read. as i said above, the
response contains <acctid> and position confirmation info
for all three accounts. and, they appear to be structured
identically except for account numbers and actual position
values, etc. so, it looks to me like there is some kind
of bug in the response processing in money that's causing
it to only process the first account.
the ofx that i download directly from vanguard.com looks
very different than the response ofx. so, apparently its
structured in a way that doesn't trigger the bug.

thanks for the help

I would wonder if there have not been any transactions in those
other accounts in the past couple months and Vanguard limits the
Money download time. There may be older data available on the
website.

If you would like to see the ofx files money is using, hold down
the Cntl+Shift keys while pressing the Connect button. That will
save the transaction info into two files. "Vanguard 000000000
RQ.txt" is the request info generated by Money , and "Vanguard
000000000 RS.txt" is the response file. The 000000000 will be a
different number.


Using a text editor such as notepad, you can check by looking at
the RQ file that it indeed has three lines of <ACCTID> followed by
the account IDs.

The RS file is a little trickier in that Vanguard does not insert
any end-of-line characters. But if there are three accounts there,
you should still be able to find three occurrences of <ACCTIDfollowed by the three account numbers.

i was having this problem with mny 2002. i just upgraded
to 2004 and am still having the same problem.

we have 3 accounts w/ vanguard. i have an ira. my wife
has an ira. and we have a joint regular account.
this accounts are properly linked at vanguard. that is, i
can see all 3 of these accounts from my vanguard online
login.
all three of these accounts in money are enabled for stmt
download and the account numbers are correct.
when i go through the online setup wizard, after login and
download, it correctly asks me about all three accounts
and does the right verification questions to be sure how
to match up the three accounts that vanguard is reporting
with the three accounts i already have set up in money.
in other words, vanguard appears to be properly reporting
all three accounts.
but, only the first account(my ira) ever shows any
transactions/stmt activity in read online statements.
however, if i login to vanguard from my browser and
manually download the .ofx file to my hard disk and then
double click it everything works the way its supposed to
and activity for all three of the accounts gets posted for
review under read online statements.
is this some subtle setup problem on my end? a vanguard
bug? or a money bug? is anyone else having this problem
w/ vanguard?

thanks
