I don't understand, Elizabeth. I want to import records to a new file because 
I don't want to enter three years of data by hand.

Do you mean I need to open the chequing account and then import?

The file has a chequing account, a savings account, a mortgage account, etc.

Why can't I match records in the statement.ofx to these accounts?
