Did you check that ofx file type is still registered to MS Money? If the
problem started after installing MS Accounting, maybe the Accounting program
took over ownership of that file type.

That actually may explain it.
It is likely that the file extension for the direct import off of your
bank's website is not .OFX
But when you save it as .OFX, Windows now recognizes that extension.

I'd almost be willing to bet that the bank is downloading it as a .QFX
extension.
Or the other possibility that comes to mind is that Windows is saving a
temporary copy of the download for import and in the process of creating
that temp copy is either changing the file extension or having a problem
with the temp location itself.

Yes, I did verify the mnyimprt.exe is correct in the registry. I am getting
the OFX file directly from the bank's site. If I save it locally to my
machine and import it it works fine. The problem is when I try to import it
directly into Money. Anything else that can be tried?

Where the OFX file is save in Temp could vary depending upon how you are
getting it.

I don't recall, did you verify that mnyimprt.exe is located in that spot
referenced in the Registry? (You may have to modify Vista's folder options
to show system files in order to Money's mnycorefiles folder).

Oh, and are you getting the OFX file directly from your bank's website, or
do you have Money set for "direct" OFX services?
If you are getting the file from the bank's website, it may be that it
doesn't have the correct extension (for example QFX instead of OFX). Instead
of Opening it, try Saving it (to your Desktop) and make sure that the file
name does end in an OFX extension and then try:
1. Double-clicking it to see if Money will start automatically and import
it.
-or-
2. Start Money and go to File - Import and Browse to the location of that
file and import it that way.

Thanks for the help. I checked the registry and the entry for default under
the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ofx.Document key is the same listed in your posted. I
think the Vista is blocking the file for some reason. I tried to look in the
Internet temporary files, but could not find the ofx file. Would you know
where the ofx file is temporarily saved when trying to import?

Any help is much appreciaed.

Reinstalling Money "should" have reset the file association.
Try re-running setup "as Administrator" (right-click on Setup and choose to
Run As Admin)

If that fails to reset the association, verify what it says in the Registry.
Note: be VERY careful about changing anything in Windows Registry

1. Run regedit
2. Navigate down to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ofx.Document
3. Expand that branch and verify that under Shell there is an Open item with
a Command item under it. Click on the Command folder.
4. Verify that the Default "Data" value is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money
2007\MNYCoreFiles\mnyimprt.exe" %1
This is of course assuming that Money 2007 was installed in that location.
The problem may simply be that this reference is not properly pointing to
the location of Money's mnyimprt.exe

I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that did not fix it either. Is
there a way to delete the ofx extension and add it back in Vista? Or is

I have Windows Vista. There does not seem to be an advanced option in Vista
when associating an extension to a program. I also uninstalled and then
reinstalled Money and that did not seem to work.

I hope there is a solution to this because I cannot think of anything else I
can do.

This is for XP:
Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

Select OFX-- Open Financial Exchange File .


Click Advanced. Check Confirm Open After Download unless
you would not like the pop-up box.

See that the "Actions" box contains "Open" in bold. If it is not
bold, you can select Open as the default action by clicking the
Set Default button.

Click Edit.

When you click edit, the application used to perform action
should be similar to the following line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2007\MNYCoreFiles\mnyimprt.exe" %1
WITH the quotes, and the %1 after the quote. The path will
differ based on your installation. Modify for your setup.

Application should be mnyimprt with the appropriate path.
The easy way to fix this may be to reinstall Money.

I made the same mistake as the origiinal poster by installing MS Accounting
Express and now broke the the ofx download. I went through the steps of
re-assigning the ofx file to the import handler except it still does not
work. In the previous message it says associate it to mnyimport.exe %1.
What is the %1, the file name on my computer is just mnyimprt.exe.

Any help is appreciated.

Here's the fix. It worked for me after I uninstalled MS Office Accounting and
found MS Money wasn't recognizing OFX files anymore.

Resetting the file association for importing OFX or QIF statements

If you need to reassign the OFX file extension to use Microsoft Money (for
example, it was assigned to Quicken and then you uninstalled Quicken), then
you can follow the procedure below to reset the association to what it was
before Microsoft Money was installed.

Go to Windows Explorer and follow the following steps.

1. Choose Tools, Folder Options, then File Types
2. Scroll down and find the OFX entry (if you're using OFX)
3. Select Advanced
4. Check the 'Confirm open after download' option.
5. Select the 'open' action
6. Press 'edit'
7. Check that "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money
2005\MNYCoreFiles\mnyimprt.exe" %1 is the application used and use DDE is
checked. (See below for a screenshot of this window).
If you have Money 2006, then change the 2005 to 2006. If you have a
Money installed in a non-standard directory, then you will need to change the
path to the 'mnyimprt.exe' program.

If your locale is not English (United States), try to change your locale
temporarily to that one or the one that you think you bank institution would
use. That fixed the import problem in my case. Seems to be a bug in 2007
version as 2004 version was importing them fine.

Consider reinstalling MS Money 2007, but that may break MS Accounting.
It may be possible to tweak something to make them both happier but
they may just not cohabit well.

I already did this, Money 2007 launches and then I get an error message that
the file can not be found. Maybe Accounting installed a diffrent dll or other
file that broke Moeney 2007

I know nothing about Microsoft Accounting and the file types it uses but you
can see what program is registered for ofx files by checking the folder
options under Windows explorer. You can even point it back to "Microsoft
Money import handler" by clicking change.
