ONLINE BANKING

[Brad Haack]

I haven't had much luck w/ Aqbanking either.   There's a python script 
at   http://www.jongsma.org/gc  that works for me.  I download an ofx 
file for each account, then import them into gnucash.  I'm still working 
out some issues w/ transactions getting assigned to the wrong account, 
but that might be operator error.  It would be really nice to have a 
working 1 click update feature in gnucash.
