Max, believe me it is much easier manually posting 50 transactions a month,
less than 2 a day, than going thru the download reconciliation issues. I always
post my transactions manually and I have maybe 5 a day. Good luck. Steve

An OFX file should not represent an ampersand character unless the
character is replaced by these five characters: "&" (or
uppercase equivalent). ">" and "<" are also allowed but seldom
encountered in OFX files.

Using the word "and" would also work around the problem, as you say.

Max,

The problem is that there's a character in the statement you're getting
from Capital One that Money is choking on. I've run in to the same
issue...save the statement from Capital One to your hard drive and edit it
by hand. Search for "&" and remove it (or replace it with "and").

Money is saying the files I get from Capital One credit card are corrupt.
Some months import fine, while others I get an error. I try to get support
from Capital One, but they keep giving me the runaround. Anything I can do
with Money to get this to work?

I have about 50 transactions a month and rather not input these manually!

Money is saying the files I get from Capital One credit card are corrupt.
Some months import fine, while others I get an error. I try to get support
from Capital One, but they keep giving me the runaround. Anything I can do
with Money to get this to work?

I have about 50 transactions a month and rather not input these manually!
