Account balance off after importing from Quicken

[Dennis Powless]

I made a pdf register report in quicken and then went back to ubuntu
and gnucash.  I then pulled up the pdf (I moved it to the linux side)
and then compared side by side, line by line.  Well, almost.  I
compared the account balance at each deposit along the way.  Well
sometimes month by month etc... but you get the point.  Then when I
noticed something off I went to the last known well point and did a
line by line comparison.

I noticed that GC and quicken might not always display the
transactions in the correct order if you have several from the same
date (ie on payday when you pay all the bills).

It took me some time, but it worked out ok.   I noticed that the
categories or accounts were a bit different.   Especially if you
transfered something back into the same account in quicken.

I'm pretty happy with GC and don't really miss quicken anymore.  I
never really needed most of the features that are offered.
