It seems that American Express and Intuit software are colluding on a new method of downloading ofx/qfx format files from American Express. They have changed the format so that, according to their website, one needs to Deactivate Online Banking Services for a Quicken Account, then Reactivate Online Banking Services for a Quicken Account in order to get a clean download. Since we do not have Quicken accounts, this will probably fail for us. It appears that this process will probably spread to all financial institutions that support qfx downloads via a license with Intuit software. American Express also supports CSV format, so I am now trying that method.
If others have run into this problem and found a solution to make ofx/qfx work with this new interference, please post your experience here. I have noticed that while CSV is short for Comma Separated Values, many CSV files use a different separator, and some require text to be enclosed with quotes. Fortunately, the GnuCash CSV importer tolerates these anomalies. -- David Carlson _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
