Default Open/Import MS Money OFX file into Excel?

Thanks. I had seen that, too; but I missed the fact that it is free and it
has a seal of safety from Softpedia. What can I say: it was late; I was
under pressure; I had my glassed on upside down; etc etc etc. :-)

Oh well, the VBA converter was not difficult to write. And as it turns out,
I am dissatisfied with the content of the OFX file; the bank omitted some
important details that are visible online.

So I might give the QIF format a whirl. There is some chance that the
content is more complete. The bank's web page is titled "Download For
Quicken". So I get the feeling that support of an MS product (namely MS
Money) was an afterthought.

Thanks again.

That is an ASCII format with HTML-like syntax. I am currently writing a
macro to parse it. But I wonder....

Is there any way to directly input an MS Money OFX file into Excel, other
than purchasing a conversion program?

A Google search reveals that this question has been asked before in other
forums. I did not see a usable solution.
