[GNC] Thank you

[Adrien Monteleone]

So the question remains, have you tried opening those exports yourself and with what software? What software is your accountant using? (QuickBooks? since you mentioned .qif) Did they try opening in a spreadsheet app?

Now, if I understand correctly, you are currently sending the HTML or PDF copies of the reports, but want to send the CSV export of the GnuCash book so they can import it directly to QB?

I’m not sure if QB would just ‘open’ a CSV and intelligently offer to import the data or not. The accountant might have to intentionally do a CSV import from within QB with the file.

Regards,
Adrien
