MS Access - Fetch Bank Account Balance

Copper Contributor
(I’m using MS Access 2016)
Hi there:
I have a table Called CurrentBalance, where I keep track of a bank account balance. I’ve been updating it manually, but I’m wondering if there is a way to import it from my bank directly.

@Mercadogs That doesn't sound like something I would recommend in any event--Access is not the most secure of platforms, after all. I also doubt any reputable bank would support it.

 

That said, many commercial software packages, such as Quicken, DO support that function. One of the reasons, therefore, it might make more sense to invest in a license for one of them.

That’s what I was afraid of.
I have Mint app, but it doesn’t have all the functionalities I would like to have. So, I figured I’d try the next free thing; create my own database.
It’s ok, I’ll probably just keep updating my balance manually.
