Vanguard OFX service ongoing issue
Probably just a temporary glitch, but I have not seen it before:
MD error message:

I'm sorry, an error occurred. The details of this error are below.

For me, I'm doing MD+ with Vanguard at the moment, and the one that gets me is that what used to be a DivReinvest (one transaction) is now a separate Div and Buy. That's not the big deal though. Sometimes the Div and Buy don't match entirely, even though they should, and as you mention, sometimes the Buy doesn't have what was bought (though I've been able to figure it out).

Thanks all. I do find it really interesting that the results we get via the manually triggered OFX downloads should be so different from those we were getting via Direct Connect. Those have been very consistent over the years for me and only required only very occasional "massage". Best

I'm not getting any downloads from Vanguard at all since March. Any help with this? And please keep it simple if possible.

Julie, near as I can tell, there has been no change to this situation. Personally, I am giving up on expecting any. I am not yet sure if I will move the affected accounts to Fidelity. But I am thinking about it.
Meanwhile, I am using the Vanguard download center to manually trigger OFX updates into MD. Not perfect. But better than nothing.

Agree w/ @whitedavidp. I use download center, choose ‘Quicken’, usually select a custom date range, and select accounts that I wish to download (usually, but not always, All). Then import the file into MD.
In Dec I moved the one fund my wife had from Fidelity to Van. As annoying as the download center method is I find it better than moving my 6 accounts from Van to Fid simply for the convenience of one click downloads. And as others have said, there appears to be an industry wide move away from OFX download, thus I expect Fidelity to one day follow the rest of it’s peers.

Sadly, I have to agree with jonh. It is like OFX is just one more thing our society cannot (or will not) do in the future that it was once able to do without problems. Like fix potholes in roads, maintain bridges so they don't fall down, keep government agencies chartered to keep the public safe staffed, etc. There is just no private profit to be made in any of this. So say sayonara.
At Vanguard, every day, I now start by going to the Activity link off the main dashboard. If there is nothing new listed, I am done. If not, like this morning, I then move on to the Download Center. Unlike jonh, I do NOT do all the accounts together and I just always choose the 1 month interval. But that is personal preference, I am sure.
Best...

Thank you all!

Ok, as of today, I have officially given up waiting for Vanguard to do the right thing regarding OFX serving to MD and similar. I just deactivated online banking for these accounts. For the time being, I will be living with manually triggering the downloads from the Vanguard website. But over the longer term, these accounts MAY be moved to Fidelity. Best
