Yes.

I had wrongly assumed that you used Direct Access by Money to get
the transactions. Apparently you are using web access.

Thanks for the quick responce,

I tried deleting my VISA, and starting over, downloading the
transactions fresh from the bank. Same thing. (and this time I held
CTRL+Shift - no copy found)

I am still downloading multiple transactions for the same item.

Question: When I select "download transactions here", i`m asked if I
want to save it or open it. I`ve always used open. Should I try
using save to...?

any help is always appreciated.

This would be complex to troubleshoot. My guess is that the bank is
sending the same transaction in OFX format, but giving it a
different <FITID> transaction ID. The same transaction should have
the same <FITID> on any download. That is how Money knows it is or
is not the same transaction.

If are feeling adventurous, and you would like to see the OFX file,
start download as normal. But when you see the Connect button, I
would hold down the Ctrl+Shift keys as you click Connect. Money
will save a copy of the OFX file as *RS.txt in My Documents.

You can view the file with a text editor such as Notepad.
Depending on the provider of the OFX file, there may be a normal
newline character between items, or not. And if not, it is tricky
to view.

Hi there,

I am using Microsoft Money 2004.

After downlaoding the latest "Visa" transactions from the
bank into money, I see the same transaction several times.

any ideas ?
