Regarding “it’s listed in the database”, which database? Quicken references a participating banks list in Intuit’s fi.intuit.something, mentioning that Intuit does control those web pages, but may not be keeping the information up to date. How sweet.

Anyway, in Intuit’s list, they say that Old Line Bank has Web Connect, but not DirectConnect. In my limited experience, unless that web page advertised Directconnect, there was no way to get Gnucash/Aqbanking to connect to your data for a direct download.

All of Old Line Bank’s resource information for customers of last year’s acquired Bay Bank mentions Web Connect and Express Web Connect  for all sorts of vintages of Mac and Windows Quicken users. No mention of DirectConnect.

One other thing to keep in mind. If you still have an active copy of Quicken on your computer, when you tell Old Line Bank to send your Quicken (QFX) data, Quicken will probably try to hijack the download. You want to end up with a downloaded QFX file on your disk that you can import into Gnucash.
