Hi Steve,

I have just tried your sample data and got to the last page of the importer 
with no issues (the page where you can assign accounts to each of the 
transactions). My first attempt failed because I didn't select the proper date 
format. Setting it to "d-m-y" got me through with no problems.

At which point does it fail for you and how ?

Regards,
