Bank downloads

[Alan Schold]

Very frustrating, Robin. I spent a lot of time tracking down numbers and 
OFX data, finally seemed to connect with the bank (my account info 
appeared in the setup), and now I can't get the data out of the account. 
I think QWIN is right for APPVER but I've tried 1800 and 1900 for APPID 
with no luck. The Header version of 102 I got from an OFX file from BOA 
I downloaded - as you did - and read and the CLIENTUID is empty now. I'm 
still trying.
