A little off-topic, but just wanted to warn you that if you imported any
sales of stock or other quicken securities, you will be missing capital
gains splits in the sell transactions. None of the importers compute capital
gains on security sales (or foreign exchange, for that matter.)  With as
much data as you imported, I would strongly suggest that you make sure your
'trial balance' report (Reports->Income & Expense->Trial Balance) actually
balances before entering getting too far down the road.

(If you have questions on this, please start a new thread for it.)
