gnucash-user Digest, Vol 138, Issue 6

[Chris Lonsberry]

Hi Andy,

I'm also a little frustrated that GnuCash doesn't easily consume the files
that it exports. You would think an export/import to the same application
should go fairly smoothly and with minimal user intervention, but that
doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Did you every get it to work?

Chris
