Problems with qif import

[David T.]

Not being an expert on QIF, I can only hazard a guess.

According to http://www.respmech.com/mym2qifw/qif_new.htm

The Credit limit entry is 'L' for account information. Since you are using L in the transactions for the destination account, perhaps the !Account section is not properly closed, and the transaction 'L' is being interpreted as an Account 'L' field.
