You're welcome.

Just for your information the bit about manipulating the list of last opened 
files is also in our faq

No, the Windows AIO has only the AQBanking 5.99 binaries. It's an installer, 
not a package manager.
No, the files on acquamaniac.de are source files. They must be compiled before 
they can be used.

I was mistaken about being able to fix it by copying in the AQBanking files 
from an older build: AQBanking 5.99 has a different API and the use of that API 
is determined at GnuCash build time so you'd need to rebuild GnuCash as well as 
copy in the files. At that point you might as well just do a build from source. 
Sorry.

Note that this affects only OFX DirectConnect. You can still download OFX, QFX, 
or QIF files from your bank's website and use File>Import.

I also mis-remembered about when we started with AQBanking 5.99 on Windows: It 
was immediately *after*, not before, releasing GnuCash 3.7. That's the version 
to reinstall if you really want AQBanking.

Can't believe I'm re-visiting this again, lol. Goes to show what happens
when you find extra time for a change (I haven't experienced this phenomenon
for many years) (triple sigh).  I'm currently running Windows 10, GnuCash
Version: 3.8, Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29), Finance::Quote: 1.49.  Everything
works fine except aqbanking and yes, I do understand that the latest version
is not compatible with Gnucash 3, etc.  I get that...  *I'm taking from your
prior posts that one can get aqbanking to work w GnuCash 3.8 if one installs
an older version of Aqbanking.*  From your last post, I believe you indicate
that's either 5.82 or 5.78.

Ok, so per your earlier post, I was pulling what's left of my hair searching
hopelessly for Aqbanking 5.20, and then just noticed by accident that you
had made a further reply to the thread, correcting your prior post,
indicating that I should (???) be looking for either Aqbanking 5.8.2 or
5.7.8, not 5.20. So:

1. First I did a search on my laptop, and found references to prior versions
of Aqbanking, including 5.7 and 5.8 (see the attachment to this message
post). Am I correct that my recent install of 3.8 does not include the
necessary aqbanking files to install prior versions of it?  If I'm wrong,
how do I install those older versions from what's on my laptop; and if I'm
right, then I assume I need to download one of the older versions (see #2,
below).

2. Ok, so then I did a google search, and found a reference to aqbanking
5.8.2-1 at the following link: 
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/aqbanking/
  .  From
the mirror site referenced at that site, it looks like I'd be downloading:
*aqbanking-5.8.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar*.  I assume once I extract the files I'll
find an install file to install the older version of aqbanking, and
thereafter the clouds will part, the birds will chirp, and I can stop
manually updating my accounts.  For now, I'll sit on my hands.

When you have a free moment, if you could tell me if I'm on the right path
or not, would be great, but in any event, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!!

But that's not what I was asking about. I'll say it again. The 
recurring transactions created by the tool created transactions 
crediting the escrow account for the insurance & taxes and debiting 
the escrow account to transfer the money to the taxes and insurance 
accounts. So now the total amount it takes from the account is equal 
to JUST THE P&I.


Well strictly speaking, not how escrow amounts should be accounted for. 
They are NOT expenses until the expense is paid (from that account). 
They are an asset. Think of it as an enforced savings plan putting money 
into an account so that funds will be available to pay the tax and 
insurance bills when those fall due.


Of course you won't know WHEN these bills were paid or the exact amounts 
until you get the "escrow adjustment" statement from the bank, usually 
once a year. At least that's how it was back when I had mortgages. So 
you would be entering these transaction long after their actual date (in 
other words, real time date >> transaction date). If you prefer, and you 
had some idea of what the actual amounts would be and actual dates due, 
you could create estimate transactions (probably 4 quarterly RE tax 
bills, 1 annual insurance bill, possible some number of fire district 
and/or water district bills). Then when you did get the statement from 
the bank, enter a correction transaction as needed if the actual amounts 
differ.

Thanks for that. I recently reorganized my disk, so I've been living
with orphan entries in GC's list. Knowing where the file list lives in
the registry, I've removed all the orphan entries and renumbered the
remaining ones, and now my file list in the GC menu is cleaned up.

Re: [GNC] budget reports 'YTD' vs 'use accumulated amounts'

[pj42uk]

Larry, so far as I can tell the Standard report does not provide the YTD
information. 
Phil's report does nor run properly on v 3.8 Windows 10.
Is your experience any different?
