The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========
 
When importing an Open Financial Connectivity (OFC) file into Microsoft
Money 98 or Money 99, you may receive the following error message:
 
   The file you imported contained invalid or corrupted data.
   Use your home banking software to create a new data file and try
   the import again.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This error message occurs when the file format of the file you are
importing is not based on the latest OFC specification. This file cannot be
imported into Money 98 or Money 99.
 
STATUS
======
 
Until the source of the OFC file updates their server software, you cannot
import their OFC files into Money 98 or Money 99.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The most common problem with the format of files that generate this error
is that the NAME field is longer than 32 characters.
 
Microsoft Money 97 does not have this problem and does accept this file
format. Money 99 and 98 follow the OFC specifications more strictly, and
therefore do not accept fields that are too long.
