Re: [GNC] OFX import for Multiple Visa

This sounded like excellent advice so I gave it a try but unfortunately I ran into trouble. The delete-account dialog must filter the list of accounts to move transactions to because the one I wanted wouldn't show up. I couldn't type it manually either because when I tabbed off the field it just

Kevin It may also be that your bank is supplying an underlying accountid that is the same for both your old and new credit card accounts even though the card number is different. You can open the OFX files with a text editor and search for the tags in the file to check. My bank uses the card

Kevin This is because the OFX standard format is used both in files downloaded from your bank and then imported into GNuCash and downloaded directly online using the AQbanking connections from your bank without ever being stored explicitly on your hard drive ( maybe as a tmp file which is deleted

Here's a bit more information in case it may be helpful. I was previously running 2.6.19 on ubuntu. I had a VISA and a Mastercard that I downloaded OFX files for and I successfully was able to import them (File -> Import -> Import OFX/QFX...) I've just switched to running GnuCash 3.6+(2019-06-29)

I should have gone on to suggest to Kevin to try reverting to GnuCash release 2.6.21 to see if that works. David Carlson On Tue, Sep 24, 2019, 5:37 PM David Carlson wrote: > It sounds to me like Kevin has an issue with OFX imports in the current > release of GnuCash. > > I am still using

It sounds to me like Kevin has an issue with OFX imports in the current release of GnuCash. I am still using release 2.6.19 successfully to import three accounts simultaneously in one OFX file from my bank, so I know that old release works fine. David Carlson On Tue, Sep 24, 2019, 5:25 PM

I don't use GnuCash to connect to the credit card site. I download the OFX files manually and then import them which is why I'm confused as to why aqbanking is involved at all. On Tue, 24 Sep 2019 at 16:15, Andrew Gross wrote: > Kevin, > > When you login to your credit card website, you do as

Kevin, When you login to your credit card website, you do as as a "user". That is the same user that you tell the aqbanking wizard. Also, when replying do a "reply to all", so that the list is copied. Regards, AEG On Tue, Sep 24, 2019 at 3:41 PM Kevin Hale Boyes wrote: > Thanks for the

Kevin, Sounds like you may not have gone through the documentation yet on aqbanking. Start here to review how the aqbanking wizard works which is used to configure mappings between your credit card numbers and your accounts in GnuCash.

Thanks for the advice but I'm not sure how to use it. I've never used aqbanking and when I went into it just now there are no account mappings at all. If I look to create one then I'm not really sure what to use. I'm guessing the backend is aqnone but then I don't know what an IBAN is or what the

Hey all, I have been importing OFX files for my VISA for a long time without issue. I recently got another new VISA card with a new number and tried to import the OFX file but Gnucash isn't asking me what account the new VISA is for and is putting the transactions into the other VISA GC account.
