[GNC] More QFX import problems

[David Carlson]

Nike,

Have you gotten OFX or QFX imports from other financial institutions to
work?

I have never heard of any transactions, imported or otherwise, having only
one side, unless that side is equal to zero.

Did you try changing the register view to double-line in transaction
journal?
