: Hi Mark & Yves
: I had trouble downloading transactions from Scottrade, the early years would not appear, only the latest years. I got around this by downloading the early years as a Quicken file to my desktop and inporting the file into Fundmgr as a Quicken file. I also had a problem with duplicate transactions appearing as I was having troubling downloading and had to download several times. I went through and manually deleated duplicate transactions. I have the Prof ver.

Hi Bob,

Yes, the OFX servers generally only keep 90 days worth of transactions. Downloading and importing from a .QIF file for earlier transactions is a good solution. When you import the .QIF file there is an option "Skip Transactions Already in Fund Manager". Checking this will prevent duplicates, but only if they match exactly. If you're importing the same file this should be the case.

Thanks,
Mark
