    Financial software like Microsoft Money, GNUCash, etc can handle OFX files. If you use one of those (and the software doesn't already work with the files you downloaded), check out http://www.mt2ofx.tk/.

    If you want to open the files in Excel, you need some kind of converter or plugin. One can be found at http://www.bigredconsulting.com/aboutofxreader.htm.

    Can you also ask the bank to send the statements to you in a different format? I requested mine in pdf, and they gladly complied.

    Many good sugestions from above posts.

    cheers ...
