Yes, it worked, thanks a lot !
I feel a little stupid for not seeing this before...

Maybe it's a good subject for a FAQ. I use(d) ms money 2002 french(france) edition, but i think this bug is common to all ms money 2002 editions.
An error message like "unknown QIF file type" in GNUCash would be great also :-)

There is only a little internationalization problem in the checkbook register window. In the "Transfer" column, an entry named "Logement:Téléphone" appears as "Logement:T" when displayed (string is ended by the accentued letter) and as "Logement:Tlphone" when editintg the entry (all accentued letters removed from string).
