It sounds to me like Kevin has an issue with OFX imports in the current release of GnuCash. I am still using release 2.6.19 successfully to import three accounts simultaneously in one OFX file from my bank, so I know that old release works fine. David Carlson On Tue, Sep 24, 2019, 5:25 PM

Yes, there is a major release 3.x but it is a bucket containing minor releases, which you can install on your computer. As you know, the first number is zero, so the first minor release in the release 3.x bucket is release 3.0. David Carlson On Wed, Feb 12, 2020, 10:57 AM Colin Law wrote
