Here's a followup on using MS Money to determine the URL of an ofx server.

I ran the trial of MS Money, connected to Bank of America (California) 
and was able to download my transactions into Money.  Extensive 
searching revealed no log file, however.  There was no file by the name 
of ofx.log.  I also looked at all the files with creation dates of 
today, and with "ofx," "qfx," or "America" anywhere in the file, and I 
still came up empty.  Does anyone have experience with where logging 
information may be stored by Money?  Maybe MS Money doesn't have a log file?
