Hi Cal,

Just a note of Thanks. Somewhere in my copying your
directions and changing things on my machine, I was just
able to download a file and have it work *just* like it
used to before my credit union made their changes.

A sidenote - I went through all of this mess with the IT
people at the credit union, and they sent me a very long
description of what to do to fix the problem. I followed
their advice, too, and did not get the downloads working
properly, again. That's when I decided to just 'suck it
up' and continue doing the [time wasting, irritating]
saving of files and Importing.

So, I thank you,
Gwen

The %1 would refer automatically to the OFC, OFX, QIF file in
question, and the file information is automatically fed by
mnyimprt.exe to Money.

I was not able to get this to work, but, I don't believe
that it was because of your instructions - it is because
*I* had moved my Money file (the one that actually opens
when I run Money) to another location. That being the
case, can I assume that I change this line (from your
instructions):

When you click edit the application should be

To the line - which I do not currently have copied - that
leads to the Money file that actually runs????

And a belated Thank You for your information; I had not
yet had time to sit and read the directions you'd written
till now.

OK. I am wondering what you are doing to get the file. You are not
doing File-> Open, are you? I didn't think so, but just checking.

OK....

Consider this: Go to Windows Explorer-- NOT IE.
View-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

Select Open Financial Exchange File -- OFC.

Click Edit. I would check Confirm Open After Download unless
you would not like to have the opportunity to save the downloaded
OFC file wherever you want. Most people un-check it.

Content type should be "text/ofc".

Default extension should be ".ofc".

See that the "Actions" box contains "Open".

I would check the Always Show Extension, but
you may choose not to.

When you click edit the application should be
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\mnyimprt.exe" %1
WITH the quotes-- unlike the others. That assumes you
have the common location for your Money stuff.

In particular, make sure that it says mnyimprt.exe and not
msmoney.exe.

If you cannot get things to work otherwise, save the file to disk in
a place you know. Then File-> Import the file.

Several months ago, I had a problem with Money 98s files,
and, in the course of correcting that problem, I created
a 'new' Money file that I worked from. Things were fine
till my bank did some upgrades, and I suddenly was no
longer able to directly download my statement from the
bank's website to M98. I was advised, here, that I needed
to save the statement as a file and Import it into Money.
I began doing that, and things worked well.

Yesterday, I found that someone else has had the same
problem, and, that you folks have evidently found a fix
for it. I followed these directions:

"Close Money

In Internet Explorer delete your browser temporary files
with
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DeleteFiles.

In IE6, uncheck
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DoNotSaveEncryptedPagesToDisk.

Then open Money with Start-> Run and entering
"msmoney -s" without the quotes into the box."

I attempted to download my bank statement this morning and
received the following error message:

" 'C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content IE5
\QD8BID6P\221598[1].ofc is corrupted or is not a Money
data file. Make sure you are opening a file with an MNY
extension. If you have chosen the correct file and it
cannot be accessed, you will need to open your most recent
backup file to access your data.'

I hit OK and another window opened that gave me the option
to choose:

'Open/work with an existing Money or Quicken file'

I chose that, and my [correct] Money file opened, but,
there is no statement waiting for me.

What can I do to put the MOney file in the right 'spot,'
so that when I attempt to download my statement from the
bank to M98, it goes where it should?

Thanks, again.
