I'm trying to - as i always have without any issues - download & import OFX statements from my bank. Made several attempts with several different files to different accounts and tried rebooting with same result: nothing.

Using version 2021 (2006)

Please help.

Thanks

   The first suspect when a file cannot be imported is the file itself, I'd suggest opening a failing file in a text editor and checking the contents, making sure it is a valid OFX file and that it contains transaction.

   Thanks for your prompt reply.

   Have done that that with a couple of files. I can see transactions ok. Example of first line reads…

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><?OFX OFXHEADER="200" VERSION="220" SECURITY="NONE" OLDFILEUID="NONE" NEWFILEUID="NONE"?><OFX>

   I would point out this is a consistent - recent - issue, meaning same result with all files (including files previously imported). All are from same - usual - source (HSBC UK) and I’ve never had this issue before.

   Thanks
