gnucash: bank account numbers not visible in Gnucash?

[Wim Arnoldbik]

Dear Derek and Anthony,

Thanks a lot for your replies. I am now almost certain that I did not
do anything wrong in the CSV to OFX conversion and during the OFX
Import.
But, both of you mention something which is quite different than I observe:

Derek, you state that the account numbers are stored in the datafile,
but they are not in mine (I saved an uncompressed datafile, so I could
read it). My account number is stored in the datafile, but not the
others (which were between <BANKACCTTO> and </BANKACCTTO> in the OFX).
Are your really sure they should be there? And what is the name of the
field?

Anthony, I would be a little more satisfied if I could manage to get
it the way you have it. I suppose the account numbers  are already in
the MEMO field in your OFX files. Could you check that for me? If they
are in another field that would be interesting. Maybe I should write
my own csv to ofx, which I would not like to do....

Cheers, Wim
