Where can I find all of the transactions downloaded by One-step update?

I am finding some discrepancies in what Quicken shows as new downloads versus the list from my broker. Is there a way to see all of the downloaded transactions (i.e. is there a location in Quicken that stores these so I can verify what was sent) ? This is with Quicken Premier under Windows 10 - both at current levels.

    Since the account is a Direct Connect style download, what you are looking for is at:

    Help→Contact Support→Log Files→OFX log Save it to a text file and use Notepad to view it.

    OSU downloads are account-by-account … so there's no one place to find "all".

    What sort of discrepancies are you finding? Because the downloads are created by your brokerage and only "collected" by Quicken.

    NotACPA - Thanks for the response. The errors are a few duplicate trasactions amd a few missing transactions. This is the first I have seen this happen, and I download broker transactions at least once a week. The broker (T Rowe) site shows the correct transactions being processed, but I can't see what was sent.

    Pc56k2 - Thanks, but how do I find the log file? I do not see a command in Q that shows this file.

    @funkws, when you do TOOLS, Account List … what shows in the "Transaction Download" column adjacent to your TRP account(s)?

    Thanks. There sure is a mess of data in the log. I was able to find one of my missing transactions in the log, so now it looks like the broker did send the information but something is keeping Q from processing it. Strange that is was not the latest transaction (which might indicate the log was truncated), so something else is at work.

    I deal with Edward Jones and Quicken does tweak the downloaded information. In my case, EJ will download a DIV and then a BUY (to reinvest the div) and Quicken turns it into a single ReInvest transaction, so sometimes, Quicken might indicate on the OSU summary that 20 transactions were downloaded, but only present 10 for acceptance because they were all ReInvest.

    Regarding the log file, latest is at the bottom always, so I always navigate to the bottom and then search up. Yes, it is ugly, but after you look at it a while, it starts to make sense.
