| I have the same situation. Some of the transactions download OK and others don't download. It's not dependable.

I am much better > at finding problems than I am at entering data without problems. I have had missing transactions from Fidelity - not NetBenefits - off and on 25-35% of all transactions. I have tried downloading and different times of the day including staying as far away from midnight as possible, but still have problems. I have also tried running a seperate Money file with Fidelity only and no other accounts to no avail. Fidelity is the only account I have ever had problems with downloading directly into Money. I am very anal about entering transactions into Money so I always catch when the transactions do not download. |

Yes, but missing a transaction is rare.

You can sort chronologically oldest to newest and paste into a spread sheet. But imagine a separate file that you download to on the first Sunday morning each month, and then compare the balances against your regular file. Now that's not why I keep the alternate copy. I keep it on the laptop and the desktop, and I download at different times. Missing transactions are rare, but they can be problematic. I am much better at finding problems than I am at entering data without problems. |

Anyway, for normal use I would avoid downloading between maybe some time before midnight Eastern Time, and maybe 2 AM your time. For experimenting, I would try the opposite-- try it a little after midnight Eastern Time and again a little after midnight your time. :-) File-> Restore a backup to re-do downloading at a different time.

I see some missing transactions with Fidelity Investments. I keepmore than one file, and comparing the registers is helpful in correcting missing transactions. |

| I'm downloading transactions from Fidelity into M2007, and finding that many transactions just don't show up in the download. Money Market purchases rarely show up (although sometimes they do), and today a bunch of mutual fund dividends were missing. I've told Money to save the intermediary files, and I can see that the request file has a date range of yesterday to today, and that the transactions are missing from the response file. Fidelity claims that it's not their fault because the download is being done by a screen scraper (i.e. Yodlee) and it must be a bug there. I thought that direct online updates did not use Yodlee, but got the OFX file directly from the financial institution. Anyone with any knowledge or experience about this? Thanks |
