qif import fail

[Dennis Powless]

Go back to MSMoney and delete or alter you data to rid yourself of the
dates prior to a certain date (ie 1970).  Do you really need data that
far back?  I know in quicken you can do a year end file type thing
that archives the previous data.  You could try something like that
and then import only the recent data.
