at the same time, i can no longer access my transactions through direct connect.<br>
WECU says that direct connect is functional at the bank, Moneydance does not let me change my password for each account.<br>
so i never can connect.<br>
why does Moneydance not have a way to manually enter the password.<br>
I have already communicated with Henry and Ian there, but still no resolve.<br>
they blame the bank, but to me it seems obvious that the password is a major issue.</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-05T22:13:04Z2018-10-05T22:13:04Zdirect connect<div><p>The easiest obvious thing is to delete the Online banking info and then set it up.

how, exactly, do i go about doing that.<br>
what happens to the years of accumulated information i have in my accounts at this point? is there a procedure i can follow to do that, or do i do this blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back?</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-05T22:31:57Z2018-10-05T22:31:57Zdirect connect<div><p>where, in Moneydace do i delete the online banking info?</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-05T23:02:56Z2018-10-05T23:02:56Zdirect connect<div><p>You left out tying up your feet, we don't want those toes to lose control :)</p>
<p>You are not touching your data when you delete the online banking info you are only removing the information on how you automatically connect to the institution.</p>
<p>This is copied from another post.</p>
<pre>
<code>1. Select your bank account in Moneydance

2. Select the Online->Setup Online Banking button/menu

3. Click the "Disable" button. If you don't see a disable button, just close the setup window.

4. Repeat the previous steps for any additional accounts at the same institution.
5. Select the Online->Setup Online Banking button/menu (again)

6. Click the "New Connection" button and select your bank and hit OK
7. Continue with the setup process, entering your username/password
</code>
</pre>
<p>Make sure you pick new connection, even though your bank is still one of the connection choices after you disable it. Choosing your bank from the list of available banks will force Moneydance to download the updated information, which should then allow you to connect.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-05T23:28:07Z2018-10-05T23:28:07Zdirect connect<div><p>there is NO<br>
disable button anywhere in that menu.<br>
does that mean that there is no online account for that account?<br>
i have tried the “new connection” bit before, and still no way to enter a pw.<br>
moneydance just takes over as if it knows what to do and just does it.</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-05T23:39:45Z2018-10-05T23:39:45Zdirect connect<div><p>Moneydance now has most of the information needed to connect to your financial institution for this account.

<p>At this stage two possibilities come to mind.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>If you do not take your time steps can be missed, simply because Moneydance needs to wait for information to come back from the bank's server and it is extremely easy to click pass it, we see that a lot when it comes to mapping the account to the Moneydance register. Having just seen your latest post it doesn't look like it is this.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There may be residual information about your bank in the data file thus confusing the software and not allowing it to do a setup from scratch. I have seen a script that can clean this information out, alas I do not have a pointer for it.</p>
</li>

<p>Remigijus,</p>
<p>I did get confirmation that Direct Connect is supported, however, it does take the new connection about 5 business days to get set up between WECU and Intuit. It will be ready on October 9th.</p>
<p>Please send me a message if you are not able to get it working on the 9th.</p>
<p>Thank you for your patience,</p>

It is the process of switching/setting up Direct Connect to WECU’s new system. The process cannot start until the old system is offline which is why the 5 days of it being down.</p>
<p>The new connection will be ready on the 9th. It has nothing to do with your set up, it is just the process Intuit has in these types of conversions.</p>

still unable to delete my online accounts which no longer work.<br>
this is both a Moneydance and a bank problem.<br>
Moneydance because it presumes that whatever i set up for an account in the past is what is needed and offers no possibility of changing or deleting it. one of the above suggestions appear only to work with an account that is actually operational.</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-09T20:42:07Z2018-10-09T20:42:07Zdirect connect<div><p>i still cannot make an online account for my accounts for one bank.<br>
the process is still automatic as far as Moneydance is concerned and accomplishes nothing.<br>
Please help me. i need to be able to delete the online account that was in existence on Moneydance for years but no longer works because of the password change?<br>
if i was able to set up online accounts anew, maybe i would have a chance to connect.<br>
i feel so frustrated.</p></div>rbiciunastag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/462030642018-10-09T22:32:04Z2018-10-09T22:32:04Zdirect connect<div><p>The script for removing a service can be found in the following thread:</p>

which part do i paste into python script? are the things in parentheses supposed to be names of things? please help me here.<br>
when i put root =moneydance.getCurrentAccountBook() are the ones below that all added? one of them?<br>
another dumb question, if i may: why does one have to use programming language to do such a simple thing?<br>

<p>Sorry to hear of the issue you have had connecting with WECU. I have added a new connection to our list of supported banks. This should be available for selection now. The connection is called 'WECU Direct Connect'. Can you try reconnecting with your bank via this new connection and let me know how you get on?</p>
