Quicken web connect errors OL-220-A, OL-220-B, OL-221
Quicken errors for direct transactions download
These errors are related to the Web Connect download. If the error happens, try to reconnect direct download:
- Check if your Quicken version is discontinued (or "reached sunset") and upgrade it first (or download transactions as a file and use the ProperConvert app and convert to QIF format and import it)
- Make a backup for your Quicken file
- Disable online services for the account you receive an error
- Connect back to your bank
Quicken errors related to QFX (web connect) file imports
This error is related to a Web Connect downloaded (QFX)file. If the error happens, follow these steps:
- if Quicken is older than three years, use the [ProperConvert] app to convert your file to a QIF format (make sure to select the QIF target matching your Quicken version)
- A QFX file you downloaded is not good for Quicken. Use the [ProperConvert] app to convert to "correct" QFX with allowed INTU.BID value and expected for Quicken QFX variant, also consider converting to the QIF format as well
Error during Quicken updates
Quicken for Windows may give an error during the update:
C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Quicken\INET\COMMON\Patch\Update\patchw32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
if this happens, download the manual update and install it over the existing version (sorry, you have to google for "manual quicken update").
