I am still getting an OL-290-B error message after at least 3 days of trying to get an update from Vanguard. Is there a status update on when this issue will be corrected?
@John A. M. any update would be from the Quicken Alert. If you haven't done so already, I would bookmark the alert. Then you will be notified of any updates.
I have the same issue with Wells Fargo. I was able to revert to R69.53, but I understand that that might not be the case with Vanguard accounts. Have your tried downloading transactions from your Vanguard online account via Web Connect (OFX)?
Be careful with recommending OFX downloads at Vanguard. @Jim_Harman has posted a lot about this and I ran into the issue the last time Vanguard and Quicken had download issues.
@Snorkle thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of any issues with Vanguard OFX download files. Were you able to resolve your OFX issues? Is there a workaround that other users can use?
Hello @John A. M.,
Thank you for sharing your issue. I am happy to help!
We currently have a couple of known issues that match what you're experiencing. Here is the Community Alert for the OL-290-B error you are seeing. Now, following the alert steps and reverting to release R69.53 will most likely cause you to receive the OL-295-A error with Vanguard. This is the Community Alert for that error.
I do understand the inconvenience this causes. Rest assured, our teams are actively working to get these resolved. We appreciate your patience.
I hope this helps.
I am referring to an issue that occurred around March 2025 when Direct Connect with Vanguard stopped working and a lot of users, including myself, downloaded transactions from the Vanguard web site. When Direct Connect came back there were issues reconnecting and @Jim_Harman posted detailed steps on how to do this. My issue was with old accounts (Pershing) that had account numbers starting with xxV. I was lucky that I had old account statements because that number had to be used to reconnect the account. Since then I have vowed not to try any workarounds when I have download issues. Like the ones being thrown around now.
