[Kmymoney-devel] New OFX insight

[Jack]

Unfortunately, no.  Since the bank marked my account as having changed  
the password, I no longer get the error (which may have been 15000 and  
not 15500).  If anyone knows of software which can change the password,  
I'd be glad to try to trace the messages when it happens.
