Ken, as Gyle mentioned, they are sibling to each other. In terms of technical specs, QFX is modified OFX format which contains additional Intuit's non-XML header but GNC treats them both equal as it simply ignores that header. From the transaction wise they both will contain identical data.

IBKR offers these "Third-party Downloads": 1. Quicken Web Connect -> which generate a QFX file 2. GainsKeeper 3. TradeLog 4. MS Money -> which generates a OFX file Do you know whether GnuCash prefers OFX or QFX? I have downloaded both and will experiment with them.

That would be the best format and I believe most broker-dealers support that format as a download method from their web portal. > > -----Original Message----- > From: km22<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2024 4:57 AM > To:[email protected] > Subject: [GNC] GnuCash with Interactive Brokers > > Hi Gnucash Users, > > Does anyone on this mailing list have a method for importing transactions from Interactive Brokers (IBKR) to GnuCash?
