Innovative. One thing: if you import as a statement instead, Money
will look for duplicates and have you accept the transactions.

Alternatively:
- Find the link on the web site that says, "Click here to get your QIF
file".
- Right-click the link.
- From the context menu, choose "Save As".
- Specify where you want to save your file.

I was not trying to route the download of financial data automatically, I was
trying to prevent an automatic download and save the file. MS Money 2001
could not handle an automatic download of data from an investment firm.

I did solve the problem by changing the .qif file extension association. On
the IE7 menu bar I found the file associations function using the following
path: Tools> Internet Options> Programs> Set Programs> Set Program Access and
Computer Defaults. Once there I changed the file extension association for
..qif files from MS Money to Adobe Acrobat Reader. Since Adobe doesn't
recognize this file type I was presented with a pop-up window asking whether
to Save or Run the file. At this point I could save the file and then use the
MS Money import option to bring the data into my investment portfolio as a
"new or recovered account".

First, be sure that your Money and backup files are moved to a spot
that you will have full privileges to, such as
Documents/MyDocuments.
If they are in a place like ProgramFiles, Vista will create an
impermanent copy of the file for the user to use, unless the user
explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose RunAsAdministrator
that time.

Check that the SSL2 protocol is enabled. That checkbox is in
IE Tools-> InternetOptions-> Advanced.

Right-click the Money icon and choose RunAsAdministrator to let
possible updates happen. Then reboot the computer.

If that doesn't do it, you might have to get into Vista
compatibility mode settings.

Then File-> Import the QIF file if it does not get routed in
automatically after your reinstall.

I recently upgraded to Vista and installed Money 2001 that I had been
successfully using with XP. Now I can't import data in .qif format. Instead
of asking where I want to save the data, I get a pop-up window asking which
account the import should be assigned to. Even if I make an assignment, the
data is not there and I can't find it. The suggested fix from MS Money is to
change the action on registered file types with a qif extension in IE to
"confirm open after download". That option does not exist in IE7, or I can't
find it. Anyone know the fix or is this Microsoft's way of forcing an upgrade
of MS Money?
