When you click on File > Import > Downloaded Statement the "Files of
type" dropdown box defaults to *.QIF and *.OFX files only. I'm
trying to change this behaviour to include *.QFX files as well. I
can't find a config file or a registry value to modify this. Is this
value hard coded - or am I missing something.

Hi Ameridan, do you know if Cal's registry amendment that you link to for QFX files can be amended to include PDF files? I don't want to play around with the registry and not really know what I'm doing. My bank statements are always PDFs and it would be great if I can amend the default filter to include PDFs.  Chris

Chris: Microsoft Money will not understand PDF files.  QFX files are really OFX files with some small extra tags, so Money can handle those. But it will not understand PDF.

I  guess Chris wants to link to pdf statement files.   The default is All picures.  Just click on the ▼, and select Documents (or All files) instead.  There could be a registry setting for this behavior, but I am not familiar with it.
