QFX importing to empty account

[jdfoote]

Thanks very much. I tried changing the number listed after <ACCTID> in the
.qfx file, but that didn't work. I figured out that it was the
Imbalance-USD account that I had inadvertently selected as the destination
account. I created a dummy account, deleted my Imbalance-USD account and
moved the transactions there to the dummy account, then renamed the dummy
account as 'Imbalance-USD'. So far, it appears to be working.

Best,
Jeremy
