by Simon Kigo

Hi I haven't used GnuCash but I hear its a great program. Has anyone used Openbravo. I just installed it on a local Ubuntu server. I would like to move the instance to an EC2 machine. Does anyone have experience with Amazon EC2 installations? I have an Ubuntu EC2 machine running but need further assistance. I Would love to hear about your experiences. --- On Sat, 12/13/08, wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> wrote: From: wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org <wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org> Subject: Wlug Digest, Vol 62, Issue 5 To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Date: Saturday, December 13, 2008, 12:00 PM Send Wlug mailing list submissions to wlug(a)mail.wlug.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org You can reach the person managing the list at wlug-owner(a)mail.wlug.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Wlug digest..."

It requires setting up OFXDirectConnect as the backend. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings I have just installed opensuse 11 and am not able to get gnucash and aqbanking3-ofx to play well together. When I attempt to install aqbanking3-ofx yast tells me that I must uninstall gnucash. Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future. gnucash 2.2.4-27.1 aqbanking3-ofx 3.8.0.pm.1 -mike

I tried getting GnuCash to work, but they (BoA) wanted $10/mon to turn on the support for this stuff. Needless to say, I'm starting to move all my banking elsewhere to get better support. John

Quickbooks does not support exporting to IIF format. I can save a report to a csv format but have not figured out how to import that into gnucash. > Has anyone had success in having Gnucash talk directly to the Bank > and/or Credit Card company to pull down information, and (ideally) > push transactions to the bank? > > I'm getting sick in tired of my banks web interface, mostly because > it's such a damn manual process to actually pull down the transactions > in QIF format. > > I'm thinking of moving from BoA to DCU completely, if I can make it > work.

I could not find any information with google that allowed me to make sense of how the interface works with BofA. It looks like it will be a manual process for now.

Has anyone had success in having Gnucash talk directly to the Bank and/or Credit Card company to pull down information, and (ideally) push transactions to the bank? I'm getting sick in tired of my banks web interface, mostly because it's such a damn manual process to actually pull down the transactions in QIF format. I'm thinking of moving from BoA to DCU completely, if I can make it work. Or to another bank (within reason) to make my life simpler. Another goal is to be able to download my Credit Card statements automatically each time I fire up GnuCash so I can track those expenses better. John
