No. OFX Direct Connect is a way of connecting GnuCash directly to the bank and retrieving the account, balance, and transaction data directly into GnuCash. In addition to a working AQBanking it requires that your bank provide the service and that it reveals enough information that you can confi

I’m not sure what you were doing before, but you’d need to edit a stylesheet, the ‘report options’ are more for a one-off. In the config you can select your custom stylesheet to apply. I think you can also set your custom stylesheet as a default so you don’t have to select it each time. (or jus
