Trying to import QIF Files from KMyMoney

[Charles Day]

Herr Hambourg,

The date format may not be the problem. Please see if you have any negative
numbers in your QIF file that use parentheses, such as (1234.56). These need
to be formatted with a minus sign, like -1234.56

Otherwise, please provide us with a sample of your date format.

Thanks,
Charles
