Vista - Downloading OFX Files

Downloading OFX Files

In XP there was an option to "Confirm after download" so that an OFX file
would not automatically download into Money until the user performed the
'Import' function. I can't find the equivalent functionality in Vista.
Please, does anyone know if it can be done?

Many thanks,

David.

Re: Downloading OFX Files

Gordon,

Thanks but that won't work in this instance. The download is coming from a
bank's online banking and the 'Save Target As' option is not allowed. In
Windows XP you used to be able to set an option in the File Associations but
that option does not seem to be available in Vista 32 bit Home Premium SP 1
edition. I am downloading into Money 2003. I like being able to save the
file first and then import it into Money when I am ready.

Regards,

David

In Internet Explorer click tools -options - click the advanced tab - scroll
down to the security setting and look for the do not save encryped file to
disk option. That may be what your looking for.
