[GNC] VISA Transactions downloads issue

[Ze'ev Ionis]

I use the menu options 'File/Import/Import OFX/QFX'.  I don't use AQBanking.  I first download the file from the bank, and then import it using the option above.

Do you mean that you're downloading via OFX DirectConnect using AQBanking? In that case there's a config directory named .aqbanking in your home directory. If you've been using aqbanking for a long time there will be three subdirectories, backends, settings, and settings6. The last is the one of interest. You're probably better off manipulating its contents via the AQBanking setup program run via Tools>Online Banking Setup than trying to figure out what to edit by hand.



If you're doing something else, please provide the details.

That is, when I download either Visa, the transactions always go to one account - call it V1.  When I look in the Import Map Editor, Online Tab, I see that for V2 the correct match string is there, but none of the transactions go there!  When I look at V1 there is no Match String, and all the transactions for V2 and V1 invariably go there to V1.  I have deleted The V1 and V2 entries a number of times but cannot seem to get the match string to show up for V1 - it always "sucks" the transactions for both V1 and V2 into itself!  I figure there must be a config file somewhere that I could edit directly but have no idea where that might be.  Any help would be appreciated!
