SYMPTOMS
When you download a Quicken Interchange Format (.qif) file from your financial institution's Web site, the transactions are imported, but all of the values are displayed in the account register as $0.00.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the file you downloaded contains a currency symbol in the amount field.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, open the downloaded file in a word processor, and then use the word processor to replace the currency symbol with a space character. After you have done so, save the file and import it into Microsoft Money 98.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Money 99 and later.



MORE INFORMATION
The following is a sample Quicken Interchange Format file that exhibits these symptoms.

!Type:Bank

T$239.00

PCUSTOMER DEPOSIT

^

If you remove the dollar sign ($) from the amount fields, Money displays the correct transaction values in the account register when you import the file.
