I’ve spent the last day or so updating the Wife’s desktop to Windows 7. It’s gone pretty smoothly, although it’s taken more time to install “updates” than it did to install the OS. Whatever.
After I reinstalled gnucash, I attempted to setup the online banking stuff. I figured I should be able to get it to work since it had been working just fine with a previous version of gnucash. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any joy, even with all of the info from the previous install. I even tried to build the data files to configure accounts and users, to no avail.
Today, I finally solved the problem. When setting up a “user”, which is basically the bank’s routing number along with some other important info, there is an “Expert Settings” section under the OFX tab. In that section are an APPVER and ‘APPID’. I had to set those to ‘1600’ and ‘QWIN’ respectively. Then I was able to get account information and download transaction info. I’ll add that we use Bank of America.
