Dear John, I am using Win10 Pro. If I go back to gnucash 3.6, will I lose valuable updates in exchange for OFX Direct Connect? It seems to be a choice or wait and see if it is working in the next update.
Best wishes, /s/ Alan 14343 North Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Apt. 1009 Scottsdale, AZ 85260-3634 (480) 657-7543 Home (480) 922-0484 Text (844) 395-7098 Fax -----Original Message----- From: John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 8:05 PM To: aauerb...@poolthing.com Cc: Gnucash Users <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC-dev] Online Access to Bank of America > On Mar 17, 2020, at 5:19 PM, Alan Auerbach <aauerb...@poolthing.com> wrote: > > Dear John, > > Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

What version of GnuCash will work with OFX depends on what OS you're using. It's true that with the Windows and MacOS bundles 3.8 won't work, but if you've installed 3.8 on Linux it will depend upon what version of AQBanking the distribution that you use provides. In the case of MacOS and Windows you can pretty simply install an older version (3.7 for MacOS, 3.6 for Windows) from our SourceForge or Github sites.
