QIF import duplicate question

[James A. de Haseth]

Sorry - I hit "Reply" instead of "Reply to all."  

Thanks for the reply.  Since I never saw a duplicates window I thought

me to import files one at a time so that I can check out the
interactions and make sure everything is going to the right account.

Thanks again,

Jim
