You really, really should read before writing.

This is what I said earlier.

Bad manners.  Use the list, not a person.

How much data do you have in MMEx and what were you using before? 
That'll help us decide.  I've played with MMEx but it is likely you've 
got more data out than in and it may not be double entry.

MMEx prides itself on not doing accounting properly and sells that :)

If you got your data *into* MMEx we'll almost certainly be able to help, 
but you're going to have to say a bit more about it.  Getting it out of 
MMEx may or may not be worth the trouble, it'll depend on how many 
transactions you've made and how messed up they are now they've been 
through the MMEx "cleanser".

[1] I like the MMEx people but accounting-software-not-are-they, I like 
their reporting model a lot and look at their forums, etc occasionally; 
the basic problem is they don't do accounting, in their favour they 
don't claim to.  Nice graphs of Russian dolls from accounts and similar 
if anyone is interested.
