Same error here as well. Any update on a resolution to this issue?

Same here. Several identical postings on the Quicken Classic for Windows forum

I have same issue neither Merrill or quicken support were helpful. I did get a ticket open with quicken only to be told to call back Friday.

When using Direct Connect, the connection is directly between Quicken (the program) and the financial institution. Given that neither Quicken Mac or Quicken Windows have changes and that both are experiencing the same problem it basically a 100% sure the problem is at Merrill Lynch.

Same issue. What is the fix?
1 -
The fix is to wait for Merrill Lynch to fix the problem, or if available, used the workaround of downloading and importing the Web Connect/QFX file from the Merrill Lynch website.

I'm doing the same as @Chris_QPW suggests. I'm downloading QFX files until a fix is found. I tend to agree that the problem is on the Merrill Lynch side.

Same problem connecting to Merrill on Quicken classic for Mac. Not sure how to proceed since it seems other users have tried both Quicken and Classic.

Until Merrill Lynch fixes the problem you can go to their website and download and import the Web Connect/QFX file.

Started getting this error yesterday on Windows 11. Quicken version: R53.32 27.1.53.32
During the last online session, Quicken encountered an online error [OL-294-A].
Called Merrill support. They had no knowledge of Quicken or any connection issues.
Sent a report to Quicken support.

Getting same OL-294-A Error message when trying to download Merrill Lynch transactions

Add me to the list. Went back to OLD SCHOOL imports. Not fun especially with End of the year activity. Hopefully Quicken tech support is reaching out to Merrill on behalf of its clients. No problem on the Bank of America side.

Same issue. I believe it downloaded correctly once this morning before the connection error resumed.

I've experienced this since 1/3, but it may have started earlier. My last successful connection was on 12/30. I reported the error through the Quicken Application this morning. Sorry…wrong post. I am using Quicken for Windows and getting the error.

Same issue. I'm also using another software program and having the same connection issue so I'm certain it's Merrill Lynch.
