****Thank You Cal for your help. I have tried to follow
the instructions exactly and now can at least save to my
hard drive on the same computer as the one that Money is
loaded on. I am prefacing my comments with **** to make
it easier for you to follow and possibly help me to sort
out the rest of the problems.

**** this was not checked

**** there is not an "edit" choice only "change"
and "advanced". Change selects a new program to use.
Advanced has an "edit" button.

**** I checked the "confirm after download" box which
does now allow me to save the file.
- quote -

**** I cannot find a "content type" entry.
- quote -

****cannot set default
- quote -

**** "Actions" does say "open"
- quote -

****but did turn on "always show extension"

- quote -

**** I think this is where the problem may be. I browsed
to the program folder and selected the "mnyimprt.exe"
application. When I try to open the ofc file, nothing
happens in money but I can now choose to save it without
going to another machine. I don't know why it won't
import directly but this is much better than before. If
I click on download from inside Money it directs IE to an
old address for my bank (I've tried to change this about
a dozen times. It must be embedded somewhere I can't
find. Oh well!! )

Thank you for your help. If you should happen to know
what the black is I'd love to try to get this fixed.

Thanks.

In IE6, make sure that
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DoNotSaveEncryptedPagesToDisk is unchecked.

Then go to Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

Click Edit. I would check Confirm Open After Download to give you
the choice to save the file on your machine. If things go ideally
you will have the choice to Save or Open (to Money). Then you can at
least cut the other machine out of the picture.

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. Adjust that path to the actual
install folder your Money installation.

I have been using Money, various versions, for several
years and recently began to have some problems getting my
transaction histories online. In the past I went to my
bank site and saved a ofc file for each of my accounts
and Money would immediately import it into the proper
account. While using Money 99 it began that I would try
to save the file and a window would flash on the screen,
as it did in the past, but nothing was imported. I have
recently upgraded to Money 2004 and hoped that the
problem was that my program was outdated, but, of course
I was wrong.

The only way I can get my history information is to go to
a machine that does NOT have money installed and only
then can I save the ofc files to a disk from which I can
import into Money 2004. It still finds the proper
accounts when I do this.

What am I missing here? Why can't I simply import the
information directly? Or at least save it to the hard
drive and then bring it in? Is there a registry change I
need to make? I'm running WinXP Pro and Money 2004.
very frusrated here--dan't really want to go back to
Quicken.

Thanks for any help.
