Topic: Fidelity Investments suddenly reporting Access Denied
Fidelity Investments suddenly seems to have stopped working, giving an Access Denied error message. Interestingly, Quicken is still working. Any ideas? Here is a sample request:

This looks very similar to a prior problem posted in this forum with the subject "Fidelity stopped working after using Quicken?" (I couldn't link it because of a link limit). It also looks like the OFX validation just started failing today, as seen in validation history for Fidelity Investments.
