(e.g. pay bills, which is theoretically possible woith ofx.) But note: most of my transactions in gnucash don't reflect what the bank knows (e.g. expense reimbursements from my employer). The article also mentions 'stitching together info from different sources': I have several bank accounts, and stocks too, and no one web interface does them all (or at least, I would not trust any one website with all that info. Fraud on the web is still on the rise). That said, I think it would be neat to somehow hot-link to your banking website from gnucash, and back, in some 'seamless' manner. But 'seamless' is hard, due to browser wars. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
