Importing QIF: Name Conflict with another account

[marchaljn at yahoo.com]

Well I might, but I need this Qif import only for this investment account (Fidelity).  I have access to QFX formats for other accounts.  I am trying direct import in the csv format in the mean time.
Thanks for the interest
Another thing I didn't mention: Gnucash creates this duplicate tree of accounts, but it doesn't fill them with the transactions.  So I need to find something that works.

I have checked that the Gnucash accounts are indeed 'Investment' and in US dollars.  Also, during the Calc2Qif process, the wizard seems to accept the existing accounts (the box for new account is not checked).

Have you tried this with other account types? 
I am not a developer but in the dim past I tried unsuccessfully to
import stock transactions.  I do not know if it works now. 
If it works with bank accounts then you are making progress.
