[GNC] Trying to set up online banking

[John Ralls]

Jean,

Not exactly. There's two "wizards" at play here, the outer Online Banking Setup Assistant and the inner AQBanking setup dialog. That inner one has two tabs, Users and Accounts. The User one, when setting up an OFX DirectConnect user (and maybe for the HBCI/FinTS one, I don't know) includes the ability to download accounts once one has successfully set up the OFX DirectConnect parameters, but not all banks support it; it might also fail for other reasons. When it does work it populates the accounts for that bank and you can quit the AQBanking setup dialog and click next in the Online Banking Setup Assistant. If it doesn't work then no accounts are set up and you have to do so manually, and that's what the Accounts tab in the AQBanking setup dialog is for.

Regards,
John Ralls
