Why is my OFX file corrupted?
This happens when transaction narratives are more than 32 characters long.
A permanent resolution is being investigated. In the meantime, please follow the below steps to access your files
- Open the OFX file in Notepad
- Search for all occurrences of "NAME"
- Any entries with more than 32 characters will need to be edited to included less than 32 characters. Make sure not to delete '<NAME/>' at the end of each entry
- Once all the entries have been amended, save the file, you can then open the edited file in Microsoft Money as normal
- Credit transactions may still incorrectly appear as debits
- To correct these entries, right click on the transaction in Microsoft Money and then select 'change transaction type to credit'
Once the above has been completed, the transactions should reconcile correctly
