[GNC] Change Account associated with a QFX file

[David Carlson]

I cannot find the solution that I used several years ago, but here is
something that you can try:
I don't guarantee that this will work so make a copy of your data file to
try this experiment:

1. Open the last QFX file that imports to the wrong account.  Change the
name to something crazy and change the <FID> identifier in the file to
something different.

2. Save the file.

3. Start the OFX wizard and associate this new file to the account that you
erroneously selected earlier.  This dis-associates that account from the
correct <FID>.

4.  Now, start the OFX wizard again and select the correct QFX file.
Associate to the correct account this time.

5.  Now that other account will be associated to that bogus <FID> so if you
want to import transactions to it you will need to associate a correct QFX
import file to that account.

I don't think that any easier way way has been set up yet, although I think
there is an enhancement request somewhere.
