> I imported several investment accounts and am just now trying to get them up to date. The issue that generated this report was that a OFX update failed to handle a correction transaction where the Fidelity was adding a small amout to fix a miss reported dividend. I thought that all I needed to do was to make the transaction look like the a downloaded dividend transaction that "appeared" to be correct, in that the amount appeared in both the investment account and in the brokerage and the dollar balance matched Fidelity's. 

I think most of the issues have already been addressed, but this particular
comment points out what may be a separate problem.  A "correction" transaction
might not match the transaction it is correcting (especially if that
transaction was imported or matched) if it is a new transaction, not just a
modified version of the same transaction.  The only way to be sure is to
compare transaction IDs within the OFX downloads.  I have not checked what the
OFX standard say about this, but when I have received a correction transaction
from Merrill Lynch, it was simply a new transaction with the correct amounts,
and I needed to manually either simply delete the original, or add a reversing
transaction to undo the effects of the original.
