OK, there's no separate config file for libofx. The association between the account number in the OFX file (the element; my Capital One account uses the last 4 digits of the CC number) and the GnuCash account is established by a data element attached to the account named online_id. That should

Do you mean that you're downloading via OFX DirectConnect using AQBanking? In that case there's a config directory named .aqbanking in your home directory. If you've been using aqbanking for a long time there will be three subdirectories, backends, settings, and settings6. The last is the one
