[GNC] Almost ready to give up

[Michael Mantei]

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, I really need this to work. 
I've got numerous accounts with multiple banks and several different 
credit card companies.  I have the same problem with all of them. I have 
been doing this for 2 months now and the reconciliation process takes 
5-10 times longer now than it did with Quicken.  As much as I hate 
Quicken, if I can't get aqbanking working properly, I will have to go 
back to Quicken because I'm running out of time and patience with this 
setup. As far as I can tell, I'm not even pulling a certificate and the 
process isn't even going out to the net. Unfortunately the lack of 
support and out of date documentation makes this nearly impossible to 
use as a viable solution. I would much rather pay for something that 
works and has support, than use something that is free, but doesn't 
work. AQbanking is the software that is supposed to connect the bank to 
the software. If it can't, they only have half a solution and I'll have 
to try to find something else.


Thanks,

Mike
