I suspect that would need at least partial knowledge of the inner workings of aqbanking. I once had that knowledge, but thats now almost 2 years ago and I didn't have anything to do with aqbanking since then (except as a user of QBM). > Otherwise I am simply tired doing this error prone (this is my experience) > job on my own. I can understand that. > Really, I appreciate any help! Well, same problem as for you I guess, too little spare time and more interesting things to do... Maybe "some day" when I clean up my system, or install a completely new one I may be bothered by the ofx-dependecy enough to do something about it, for now I can live with it.
