Thanks so much for the assistance, Derek. If I understand correctly, my
Quicken 2016 exports to a proprietary file format - QXF. GnuCash
imports the more open/robust file format - QFX. These formats are not
compatible. However, my bank does download to QFX so that should work
with GnuCash. (I misspoke in my original statement saying that my
Quicken exports to QFX - this stuff gets a bit confusing)
The trick now is to get my historical data from Quicken into GnuCash
since my Quicken export QXF can not be imported by GnuCash QFX format.
I've exported from Quicken using the QIF format and that appears to work
fine. However, when I try to import the QIF file into GnuCash, all seems
to go fine through the first 14 steps but at step 15 (QIF Import -
Start), it ends with the message "failed". At step 19 - QIF Import
Summary, I get the message "There was a problem with the import" No
additional information follows. See below.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard
