Jim, if no one has a Java-based solution then this page's Python solution or SunsetOFX (see post 19) should be workable alternatives for a Windows 7 user.

BUT now, my new Windows 7 compute has a Java/Windows problem I can't seem to lick. I can't download/upgrade Java and current Java apparently won't fully uninstall. So, I can't access Java. When going through the process, I encounter a 1723 error code stating that a .dll is missing. The Java site is no help and Control Panel shows Java installed but it isn't. Some way, I think I have to get all traces of Java off my compute before I can re-install Java. From web browsing, this seems to be a fairly common problem. However, I can't find a common solution. Any help or advice from you or your readers would be very much appreciated. Thanks to you and others, I’ve been able to continue using Money by downloading quotes via Hung Le’s applet.

Given the fact that all bond have a ticker (I checked for Italian bonds but I guess is the same for the oders), should be simple create a subrutine that write the favue divided by 100 in the .OFX file, just for bonds. this will import the right prices into Money. I can't make it by myself because I'm not used to Phyton, sorry :( Thanks Luca Bill, thanks for your prompt answer!

Price updates as I understand them are updated based on percentage of par value, as opposed to par value itself. Check out the two links below, I don't know if there is an easy answer other than sticking to manual updates for bonds. I only track a few I and EE bonds and I handle those manually. But once you figure out what MS Money is doing with the quote, it may be possible to download the quote into SunsetOFX along with your other quotes and manually adjust the price to be a percentage or whatever it is MS Money is looking for. A pain but still less so that the steps needed within MS Money for a manual price update. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283846 http://www.cdnbusinessdirectory.com/microsoft-money/2956-bond-price-updates MS Money does not seem to track bonds the same way as stocks.

At this point the best I can do is to create Account Transactions and Investment Transactions reports that I can export to Excel as .csv files (the "Send To" options do not work as MS Money crashes / produces emtpy xml data).

So here what I did: Created an account with yodlee.com. Setup all my accounts there. From their transactions screen that has all account’s transactions. I download an excel file with all accounts transactions. Then from that I create OFX file for each account and import them. Since I’m a software developer, I developed the whole thing to be done with a single button click and it does it all 3 minutes latter I go check money for all my new transactions.
