Importing QIF

[Dave Fogg]

Thanks for all the responses! After trying different imports, nothing 
seems to work very good; all the data is not importing correctly and 
therefore my balances are incorrect.  That is true even when I match up 
exactly the account categories as exists in Quicken.  I didn't realize 
this when I asked my question because I was trying to change my existing 
Quicken categories to match the new Gnucash accounts which I could not do.

I believe what I am going to do is what someone else has recommended on 
another question and that is to start Gnucash beginning with my last 
bank statement and enter anything that has not been reconciled.  That 
way I am starting with a fresh database and do not need to worry about 
importing.

Again, thanks for all the responses!
