: I enabled the transaction download functionality in FM, but the problem now is that all OFX downlod files are directed to FM. I also use OFX for other software, like Money for credit card statement downloads.

: I'd like to reset the OFX default back to Money. I can't seem to do this. I tried going into the Folder options and set the File Type for OFX back to Money, but it still wants to go to FM.

: Any advice?

Hi Steve,

Yes. First, go into Fund Manager under "Options / Preferences... / Other" and turn off the option to associate OFX files with FM. When this is on, FM will check each time it starts, and make sure that .OFX files are associated with FM. You can then change the OFX associations to point to Money. I'm not sure how Money handles this, but it may also try to reset them itself when it starts, or maybe there is an option in the program somewhere. If you aren't able to get them pointed back to Money, let me know, and I can try to find some more specifics.

Thanks,
Mark
