I've been using OFX Direct Connect, i.e., just hit the "update" button. If I'm going to download a file and edit it before importing, I'd probably stick with OFX. It's one account at a time, so I know what I want to translate. However, CSV is not totally out of the question, as I still have dividend reinvestments downloading as three separate transactions, and my editing to make one correct transaction out of the three might be easier with CSV.

The perils of a cellphone! To continue, have they been downloaded already? If you want a chance to edit, might CSV be a possibility?

I'm continuing to work through my huge backload of investment account OFX imports. One of the annoyances is that Merrill Lynch uses categories such as _Dividend and _Fee, which is how they get imported (I think those categories probably got created during such an import, but I no longer remember when or how it actually happened. Is there any way to get them to map to the categories I prefer to use for those accounts? Unfortunately it's not completely static. For example, _Fee should always be "Other Fees/Misc Broker Fees" but _Dividend depends on which account, whether it's Dividends or Tax Deferred Dividends. Since this is OFX Direct Connect, I don't have the opportunity to edit the OFX file on the fly. Am I just stuck with manually adjusting as I confirm the import?
