Problem downloading transactions into GnuCash using AqBanking.

[Paul Conrady]

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick reply and link. My question is "Why not?" I would like
to try to implement investment transaction downloads, which is much simpler
and streamlined than manually downloading ofx files from the investment
company's website, then importing the ofx file into GC. I am hoping someone
had figured out how to do this - so I do not have to reinvent the wheel. I
am willing to learn the programming language if one of the GC gurus could
point me in the proper direction. Need to know the programming language
(python, I think) and the source files for the AqBanking module that is
causing the dropped data.

Anybody have some ideas to get my started? I'd appreciate a clue or two.

Paul
