Further to my earlier reply, Elizabeth.

I had an old copy of Bob&Betty from 2006 with transactions in it and I tried 
to import into that with the same result. Is this because the matcher is 
trying to match existing transactions that are already entered in the account?

(And there are no 2006 transactions in the Bob&Betty file?)
