Well, combined OFX files *are* supported, at least when the originate
from the same bank.
I just created a combined OFX file by joining two separate OFX files,
and putting the two data in between the BANKMSGSRSV1 tags in a row.
<BANKMSGSRSV1>
....
</BANKMSGSRSV1>
<BANKMSGSRSV1>
....
</BANKMSGSRSV1>
In other words, I took everything that was between <BANKMSGSRSV1> and
</BANKMSGSRSV1> (including these) from one file, and copied it right
after the
</BANKMSGSRSV1> from the other file, saved and imported. I get the
transactions from both accounts in one shot.
That's pretty cool.
So if that's not working for you, you should look at your OFX file and
try to identify where the problem originates...

Stu,
Are you doing online banking through GnuCash or importing OFX files
that you downloaded earlier?
I am importing OFX files that I imported directly from my bank's website.
I think that the same OFX format is used either way but a different
procedure is used to get the data into GnuCash.
When I mentioned three tags that appear in OFX files that I receive I
only gave selected examples not a complete definition. One would
need to get a copy of the OFX standard for completeness.

Jean, I always assumed it was supported because if you use GNC to
configure
AqB, you only need to set up one User per financial institution
even though
you can set up multiple accounts for that single user.
