Yes.  When the fitid is duplicated GnuCash considers the transaction to be a duplicate.  I have not tested if that applies to multiple accounts.  Files from my bank work fine as I reported before.
There has been some noise recently about some banks not following the rules and their files do not import well.  Maybe that is what you are seeing.
My spell checker on this tablet changes words and sometimes makes them wrong.  If I failed to correct any...

David Cthanks for the ideas - there is no way i have lost track of whichimport file was imported to which data file. I have got all the downloads in separate data files.They come as the same name, but renaming the files doesn't make adifference.Is the transaction identification number  ??I see those starting at 1 in each of two different account files.eg2016090820161106235959CREDIT201611012.951Interest CreditDEBIT20161101-1.002IB External Transfer Fee_______________________________________________gnucash-user mailing listgnucash-user at gnucash.orghttps://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user-----Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All.
