Dan, Sorry to be late with a response. It is going to be awhile before I can test this. My bank just went through a big upgrade and all the account numbers changed. I "uncleared" a check transaction, downloaded an OFX file, and when I tried you suggestion the important couldn't find a matching transaction (I'm guessing because the account numbers changed?). I'll have to wait until I have a check transaction with the new numbers.
