[GNC] OFX connect/AQbanking problem

[Elmar]

Thank you for the explanation, David.  My "pique" if you will, was the 
lack of response following the last reply.  What I was hoping for was a 
pointer to what changed between version 2 and version 4 of GC in 
aqbanking, since the older version did downloads fine, but the new 
version doesn't, or failing that, some way to diagnose the problem based 
on the error message, or lastly a person I could contact that knows the 
internals of the module, especially since Quicken is supported by the 
bank (I don't have Quicken, btw).  In any case, I don't "blame" anyone, 
especially not for a volunteer maintained and developed program. Such an 
attitude is imho simply wrong.  I apologize if I came off too strong. -

The fact that it failed when the commercial vendor altered the innards inside the box is not surprising. The ongoing challenges of figuring out the workarounds demonstrates the skill with which that commercial vendor has created their new system. There have been numerous discussions on these lists regarding different attempts. That they haven't worked for you is lamentable, to be sure, but not a reason to blame the group for not providing you a solution.
