importing data

[tereque]

hi,

There are several people who need to contribute data to our companies 
accounting but not anybody should be able to see the entire financial 
situation.

So i need people to work with external data sources that I would like to 
import into gnucash (the 'master' accounts so to say).

most logical would seem to me to import another gnucash file but I only 
can find a 'replay gnucash logfile'option on the import section. I tried 
this but nothing seems to happen. Did I do it wrong (>file >import 
 >replay gnucash file >choose)or is there any way to import a gnucash 
account into another?

importing csv (being produced in Excel in our case) is a workable way of 
course but I wonder whether it may be possible to import data from two 
different fields of the Excle CSV into the 'desription' of gnucash. It 
seems that it is opnly allowed to map one field only to the 
'description', It is not essential but would make life easier somehow.

many thanks
Bela
