Hmm.

Unfortunately, one bank at a time from someone with an account and Quicken or MSMoney. http://fi.intuit.com/support/logfileslocation.cfm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911941/ describe how to find the ofx log files for the respective programs. They're inside Quicken these days, but readily accessible. MSMoney is more convoluted, but the logs are supposedly available. I will be adding something about this to the gnucash wiki sometime soon. If I weren't paranoid, I might even try putting in a bogus account number for a different bank to see if Quicken would give me a valid ofx log with a login failure, but containing the rest of the ofx tag information. I have learned that at least two banks use the same checkfree (oasis.cfree, actually, but I'm pretty sure that the server originally belonged to checkfree) server address for checking accounts. That tells me that if I sat around trying to compile addresses for institutions using bad account numbers, that I might incur the wrath of the banking or law enforcement entities on the grounds that I was sending multiple inquiries to a common server trying to break in. > > [...] >> I've written some documentation with respect to the AqBanking setup >> wizard accessed from GnuCash.
