Re: [GNC] Bizarre happenings

[John Bonnett]

I had this happening to me a while back, and what it turned out to it 
was the Options dialog was coming up on another screen I had attached to 
my computer, actually in the room next door, so I was not seeing it. A 
helpful person on this list reminded me about this possibility.


If you have more than one screen on your computer and are running 
Windows 10, you can get to see the dialog like this.


While you are in the report, click on the Options button in the toolbar.

If you don't see the dialog, you can bring it to your screen by pressing 
Win-Shift-Left or Win-Shift-Right depending on whether the other screen 
is to the left or right of the one you are looking at. You can do both 
because it will ignore you if you go the wrong way (unless you have 3 
screens of course!)


Win is the Windows key, Shift is the shift key and Left/Right are the 
arrow keys. These commands move the window that has the focus so they 
will only work just after you have called the dialog and not clicked 
anywhere else that might change the focus.


This behaviour is quite puzzling and seems to make the program freeze if 
the hidden dialog is modal. It can happen with other programs than GNC too.

I guess you mean 2.6.21 unless you plan on going backwards :-)  See
download link at bottom of https://gnucash.org/download.phtml#historical

[GNC] OXF/QFX import overwrites Description and Notes fields

[Richard De Vriese]

Hello,

When I import transactions from my bank using OXF file format the
Description and Notes fields keep getting overwritten. I've verified that
only the C column is checked in the import window--A and U+C are
unchecked--but the fields still get overwritten with the data from my bank
rather than retaining the values I entered directly into GnuCash. I'm using
GnuCash 4.2 (build 4.2+ (2020-09-26) on a Windows 10 PC with the latest
Windows updates installed. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Re: [GNC] Fidelity and TD Ameritrade setup

[David Reiser via gnucash-user]

My fidelity account automatically got specified as an investment account, so in 
my section of the log file says:


fidelity.com
account_id_here


That part is generated by aqbanking to send to fidelity. In the online banking 
setup tool, if you launch the wizard and go to accounts, pick the fidelity 
account and choose Edit, there’s a popup with account type. Mine says 
Investment Account.

That might not be the source of your Bad Request error. It might be, but 
anything else that went wrong along the way might also end up with the same 
error.

Re: [GNC] Fidelity and TD Ameritrade setup

[April]

Thank you for your information, Dave.

With your help, I managed to turn on the loging. I see this from fidelity.
Receiving response...
HTTP-Status: 400 (Bad Request)
Unlocking customer "36"

Inside the log file:

fidelity.com
account_number_here
MONEYMRKT


Wondering if it got to do with ACCTTYPE.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks
Ada

Re: [GNC] Looking for Upgrade Tips

Safest approach would be to upgrade 2.4 -> 2.6.21 -> 3.11 -> 4.x and of
course backups before each step.

This may happen if there's a report options window hidden behind the main

The transactions are probably being sent, but aqbanking doesn’t handle 
brokerage account transactions well at all. The aqbanking author doesn’t have 
access to any US brokerage accounts to do testing. The net result is that a 
direct online banking download from Fidelity and TDAmeritrade results in almost 
no transactions showing up in Gnucash.

If you set up aqbanking to keep a log of the ofx download data stream, you can 
open the log, save the text associated with a particular download to a separate 
text file (transactions.ofx, for example), then use File>Import>Import QFX/OFX… 
in gnucash to import the transactions. With the manual import, gnucash uses the 
libofx library instead of aqbanking.

Neither Fidelity nor TDAmeritrade makes it easy to get an ofx file. They assume 
that if you’re on the website you want a CSV download. And obviously (they 
think) if you want ofx, then you’re using Quicken. So you end up having to 
either get an external ofx connection app or deal with the aqbanking log file.

Hi there,

I am new to Gnucash. I would like to set up online access for Fidelity and
