QIF import problem

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

I've responded back to the list (although your personal response was
fine considering the contents).

Your QIF file begins with:

        !Type:Cat

This is perfectly valid, which is why the importer doesn't complain.
However, later in the file it has:

        !Type:Banque 

This is NOT valid QIF and the importer doesn't know how to cope with
that.  The importer is looking for "!Type:Bank", but doesn't know
about "Banque".  You've also got:

        !Type:Mémorisé

I have no clue what this type is.

So, I would suggest you change "Banque" to "Bank" and try again.
I'm not sure what to suggest you change "Mémorisé" to....
