I know I've never imported anything, since this was my first attempt and it never worked. The fact it is tossing off a "file not found" message tells me something is wrong.<br><br>I did try what you suggested, creating a new file with a set of empty accounts and imported the file, but it did the same thing.

Is it possible that you have already imported the transactions from<br>that file? i.e. look at the relevant accounts to see if the<br>transactions you saw when you looked at the file by hand are already<br>in your chart of accounts somewhere.
