Sure, I understand. No problem! I am pretty sure the problem is on the Quicken side, rather than AQbanking. Others who have reported these problems over the last year or so have also noted that their attempts to negotiate with their financial institutions have been met with resistance from the banks. The successes that have been reported have resulted from users who downloaded a recent copy of Quicken and sniffed the packets that come and go during a session with their bank under Quicken. I long ago abandoned downloading transactions from banks, for these reasons, but you could always try that approach.

My "pique" if you will, was the lack of response following the last reply. What I was hoping for was a pointer to what changed between version 2 and version 4 of GC in aqbanking, since the older version did downloads fine, but the new version doesn't, or failing that, some way to diagnose the problem based on the error message, or lastly a person I could contact that knows the internals of the module, especially since Quicken is supported by the bank (I don't have Quicken, btw). In any case, I don't "blame" anyone, especially not for a volunteer maintained and developed program. Such an attitude is imho simply wrong. I apologize if I came off too strong. - Elmar On 3/13/21 10:51 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Message: 12 > Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2021 10:51:39 -0500 > From: "D." <[email protected]> > To: Elmar <[email protected]> > Cc: David H <[email protected]>, Rainer Dorsch via gnucash-user > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [GNC] OFX connect/AQbanking problem. > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > Elmar, > > The AQbanking connection is a commercially-maintained black box protocol that > was previously reverse engineered by the diligent volunteer maintainer of the > AQbanking package.
